The verdict
A timeless 1999 turn-based artillery classic with deep weapons and a high skill ceiling, best with friends. Skip it if you want modern UI, rebindable controls, or painless online setup.
Great for
Nostalgic fans and friend groups who want chaotic, high-skill-ceiling turn-based artillery fights
Main risk
Online play via WormNET is unreliable or hard to set up, and controls and UI are dated
What players love
Great fun with friends and family
