60 of 178 · most liked firstHell yeah just bought this game and it is absolutely bussin'. The best part is the fact that I'm unable to play because the servers are down, and after doing some research, have been for a while. At least team 17 is still charging people for this absolute peach.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DON'T BUY!!!!! game is unplayable. it opens with and error code and for 2 months we get excuses from the publisher claiming they're aware of it and working on a fix. until community will update that the game is back working don't pay a single cent for it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nobody's playing, and you can't create private lobbies. The game is as good as dead and without private server support for hosted multiplayer. this cannot be justified at any price.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Something needs to be done. I bought this game and all its DLC on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and PS5. I did this because all I want is to see every Worms game succeed so we can continue to see more entries released implementing new game-changing mechanics. Unfortunately it is not an enjoyable experience to play this game in its current state. You will only find matches if you queue up for quick play. Even then it can take up to 10 minutes to find a match, and when it does there will only be at…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nobody plays this game i cant get into a match, its a great game when people actually play though
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THis game is literally dead. Why you ask? Well because it doesnt even has splitscreen/ local coop
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would be pretty fun IF there would be players. Make it for free!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Make the game free to play already, you already put it on sell for less than 2 dollars. No one's buying it and the game will remain dead otherwise.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead game, and team17 is trash and managing their games. This REALLY REALLY needs to be made free or outright delisted. You literally cannot play it. No better than a defective product. Personally, might be worth reporting the product as a whole.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Couldn't get a match at all sadly. But I did make a cute worm avatar.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing with the worm in my garden would be more fun than this
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This looks like the most refined and modern version of Worms. I was excited to try it, but noone came up when I tried to start a multiplayer game. I just wish there was single player 'versus AI' option...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No one is online anymore, the game is dead, play someting else like worms WMD instead
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dead game don't buy it, no one is online to play and its an online game, only one other player online on steam player count website, 1 singular person in the world lol
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead game. 5 Players online on steam. If you find a match its full of try hards with over 10k games. Don't buy it. Playe other worms games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →sad this game got no hope because it people thought it was not like the og worms games and they thought change=bad:(
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ditching the classic turn-based tactical gameplay for real-time battle royale action was a bold move that completely changes the identity of the franchise. The movement is incredibly snappy, allowing you to roll, wall-bounce, and spray classic weapons like the Holy Hand Grenade into crowded 32-player arenas. However, without the strategic waiting game of the originals, it often devolves into a mindless spam-fest where positioning matters less than twitch reflexes. It's a fun, chaotic spin-off,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →never truly got to experience this one. It's dead, don't buy. but if you want a modern WORMS game, play WMD instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm glad I got this on sale and didn't spend £10 on this … Actually, buying this game for £1 is still too much. This game should be free.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At the time of posting this review, Steam Charts shows 3 players online and a 24-hour peak of 14. This is more illustrative of the state and quality of the game than any review I could write.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game but dead ....
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →was good in 2020 but the game has no players now
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Warning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do not buy boot up game can't even connect to server
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is pretty fun, but i don't like the way it meant to be played (to compete with random players world wide) I would prefer to chose PvP mode (friends/solo practise with bots/online mashup)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not buy. It's a broken game. It's online only, and if it can't find enough online players you are left waiting in a lobby that never starts. To be fair i read the reviews and saw people mention it had a low online player count, but i thought that wouldn't matter if i was only going to play with my kids. Between us all we had 4 players, and it was just going to be us goofing around anyways. - Wrong. Our matches never left the lobby regardless what game mode was selected.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool stuff man, gonna contribute with some of my own extras. Same deal, DM me for key or email. Extra humble bundle games mostly. First come first serve. ~~Overcooked~~ Worms Rumble - Armageddon Weapon Skin Pack Worms Rumble - Captain & Shark Double Pack ~~ENSLAVED™: Odyssey to the West™ Premium Edition~~ GET EVEN ~~Katamari Damacy Reroll~~ ~~Pac-Man 256~~ ~~RAD~~ Splendor: The Cities DLC ~~Uurnog Uurnlimited~~ ~~The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky~~
neutral · AI labelView post →dont spend money on this , never find a match . and you cant create a private match
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead game. No local co-op or private game modes that I could find. When trying to use the options for online search it just hangs and never finds a game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is quite literally unplayable. servers don't work.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very-very bad implementation of worms in real time. Considering that I am a fan of the series from the very first games, and dreaming of a cool multiplayer game of worms 2D but in real time. There were other -really good projects, but it seems that the team 17 does not look at good examples, and their own ideas. Mentioning the projects, I was talking about Soldat, TeeWorlds, OpenLiero X and fan mods for real time rope racing in WA. Very sad..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ppl online touched my worm :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is the worm upon that I spit
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has no players so you're instantly put up against max level players who sit around all day playing Worms. Great idea with huge downfall.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is deceased
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →no bots and single player love. NO BUY!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not Worms but 2D Fortnite
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i like the game itself but the game is dead plus it`s the only worms game that has no bots
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →you know, i would have given this game a positive review if it was actually not abandoned. seriously. if the game was still alive and it gets more updates, then i would give this game a 10/10 but no this game barely even has any players and last update was in 2021. i used to play this a lot on the playstation and i even played the beta test. if this game gets updated, then im making a positive review edit: well would you look at that? an update!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →been a month still cant play this game.Error 599.REfund
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At this point since a week, I keep trying to make it work to play with Worms Rumble, but it slaps me in the face with an error code. Can't join to the server.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Brand a re-release, make it free, unlock all previously created cosmetics for anyone that purchased the game, make more than 1 map.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →hello i'm a good gamer but i just started playing the game and i love it but i always need to play to level 50 players even if i'm level 2 so if you have see this can you make bots if there are no players that are lower or litle bit higher than me thank you if you listen to me and i hope you are doing somthing on that
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want a refund!!! Without active Team17 servers, game is just dead. You can play only training, without possibility to create a server game. :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought the game today to play with a friend but you can't host your own private game. And no one is online on the servers, so you can't join a game. Straight dead game. At least add the option to private host with friends if you don't have the player base AND ITS A PAID FOR GAME!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I will leave this cat here, so that everybody who passes by can pet it and give it a thumbs up and awards /> フ | _ _ l /` ミ_xノ / | / ヽ ノ │ | | | / ̄| | | | | ( ̄ヽ__ヽ_)__) \二つ
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →worst worms game ever made
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →really cool game but dead... and there is no private matchmaking
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dont waste even $2 on this game. the most you can do is join a friend and not ever find a game to play in. it is completely dead. only other thing you can do is change cosmetics to weapons and worms. whats the point if you cant play. this company is ripping people off
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is dead. The servers are down, the game is unplayable. Do not buy this, it should be delisted.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms 30th Anniversary Humble Bundle! Just $12 for 12 games, 10 of which are good (don't bother installing Worms Rumble or Worms World Party Remastered). A bargain!
negative · AI labelView post →Edit: Team 17 has fixed it! It's playable now. Changing from "not recommended" to "recommended." Thanks for the heads-up, hanismarty. This game doesn't work anymore. When I try to start it, it states that a "network error has occurred." Why is this still on Steam?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →bad game doesn't even start
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Took 10 minutes to find a game. The game itself is awful because the tryhards are all maxed out on everything. Gladly got this through Humble about a year ago so didn't pay my money on this garbage.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a dead game, no one even play it. you will just stuck in matchmaking
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Has potential. if the game was f2p
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beta Tester here, at one point this game was stated as a mainline Worms game, LOL. This ""spin-off"" lacks any of the charm or tropes the originals have. Play Liero instead, it's more of a real times Worms game than this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is cool and all, but they should really add a AI mode, becouse if 1: you have no internet, you're doomed 2: When nobody is playng? how will you play?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a really good game. Quite different to other worms games, but still good - It's really really sad how no-one plays it anymore! Bots would be a good fix for that. 8/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It doesn't even load
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Online is dead.
