Worms 2: Armageddon adds a new 30-mission campaign, three tutorials, and five secret missions to the 2007 downloadable version of Worms (rather than a combination of the earlier titles Worms 2 and Worms: Armageddon, as the title might imply). Are 40 weapons available, including some old favorites (the sheep versions and the Holy Hand Grenade) and some new ones (a Bunker Buster and the Buffalo of Lies)?
Players command a swarm of armed worms fighting on a randomized 2-D terrain. Players take turns controlling one worm at a time and can either place the worm till time runs out or use one of several weapons from a menu. The worm that chose it uses direct-fire weaponry (shotguns, Uzis) against anything close. Thrown weapons (grenades, bazookas) are aimed by the player and are influenced by the constantly shifting wind. Explosive weapons (airstrikes, explosives) create new craters in the terrain and drop any adjacent worms into them.
Most weapons only have a set number of uses on each map. Each worm on the team has its health meter, which will run out if knocked off the land and into the water. The team that loses all of its worms is eliminated from the game.
Players can compete against the AI or each other online or offline. Multiplayer has several game styles (deathmatch, forts, and races), each with its leaderboard. As they progress through the single-player game, players can access customization tools to form new teams with unique names, headgear, voices, and attitudes.
