Worms Armageddon

Overview

Worms Armageddon is a turn-based artillery game created by Team 17. The objective of the game is to kill the other team of worms with a variety of conventional and bizarre weaponry - varying from shotguns to exploding sheep.

The game was originally developed as an expansion pack to Worms 2 titled "Wormaggedon" before being released as a standalone game. Worms Armageddon has proven to be the most popular entry in the series and was even given a Steam release in 2013.
