Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is awesome it has action packed weapons it has skins it has voices and so much more this game makes us feel happy, although it takes forever to play online it is only because the game does not have many players so we definitely recommend this game for all ages and it is a great way to get joy.
How do we explain better than worms 2 and 4we can forget about the first worms and this is like the best game ever.
Gameplay is good controls are good graphics are funny and awesome this game is forsure worth the money.
The only this is that it wont let you get a free pack.
Being zealous fan of worms game series. Awesome graphics, characters, thoughtful strategy, what the good game needs to have for us Could it be possible to offer discount we wanna get all series Thanks dear developers.
Classic worms game from when you were a kid. Need we say more.
Love it Im so good we win every match but Im the missions Are hard on the beach one or sewer idk but its hard please Improve it and worms 4 is horrible pls improve it too To, team 17 ld.
We dont get any notifications when its our turn. We really love this game.
We played this a long time ago And we didn't use Facebook so THIS For sure FIVE STARS.
We are having the same issue with Facebook login in and restarting the app over and over. We deleted it and redownloading it. Hopefully that works. But it's a awesome game overall.
The Facebook login works now thanks.
Ive been playing since this came out. Ive never gotten notifications. Notifications doesnt work. Please fix.
We like the game its fun but theres one thing what is really bad what could that be you ask the online it let us down we just got the game and the online needs to be fixed it takes forever for somebody to just make one move so please team 17 fix this :(.
We will change our rating to a 5 if the notifications are ever fixed.
We used to play this but they got rid of the infinite turns on the game need to bring back infinite turns.
When us And our dad go to a restaurant we would order then play this game for like hours till our food came out. We recently got a iPhone XR and we downloaded Worms 3 and opened it and found out it doesnt have iPhone X Support. But we have Worms Revolution on our PC and our Xbox 360 but we also cant play the Xbox 360 version on Xbox one so this was our best way to play since our PC is terrible. This was the best game but please make iPhone X Support.
Ive been playing since the Worms 2 days on PC back in the 90s. They hit the nail on the head with this one. Controls are easy to grasp and it has all the fun wacky crap youd expect if youre an old fan. The game is all there, the only micro transactions are for extra costumes, not content. It also has turn based multiplayer like words with friends. We convinced several people to download and play with us online but the lack of notifications that it is your turn really makes the online play a drag. We have to text them that we finished our turn.
We enjoyed this game alot as a kid and bought it because we missed it. 3 days of playing the game, we cant open it anymore. When we try to open it they kick us out immediately.
AI takes forever! Have stopped playing because it takes so darn long. Its a waste of time watching it think and move. Should be able to play its part at x 10 speed.
How is this game both better and worse than Worms 2? Ive been playing worms 2 for forever and this game is objectively better but just has some absurd oversights when it comes to gameplay. Why is there no way at all to play AI only matches and why is the team creation limit at 10? Why are the controls so clunky? Why is there no sense of progression? We really want to like this game but it has all the bells and whistles but just seems to be missing the basics. Not having more teams or AI only is not hardware limitations, it feels like an intentional decision to limit the players experience.
It seems not updated for ages. No full screen supported for 11 inches iPad.
It needs more themes and weapons.
We had high hopes for this, excited that its available as a mobile game, but sadly the it is not formatted for big screens (XR), play scene is crowded due to small screen aspect ratio/proportionality.
We love this game, just wish it would notify us when its our turn for online games.
Not optimized for our iPhone 11, the screen is small: please fix we used to love this game.
Whenever we try to login, the game forces part of the keyboard off screen so we can't finish typing in our login info.
We have been a fan of the Worms series for a long time. This is good as far as Worms games go but Im uber annoyed that even when you have multiple A.we. Teams, they all play as if they are one team again you. Thats just stupid A.we. Now this is somewhat mitigated by the fact that you get a turn every other turn but Id rather have the opposite.
We wish there was a way to make it speed up the other person's turn that they already took. Also it is not sending us notification when it is our turn. Even reinstalled it to make sure we have it access and it was all correct.
We purchased this because we wanted to play our friends online, however the multiplayer function doesnt work. Love everything else about the game. Can you guys fix this.
Ive been a fan since the 90s and realized that the game may be available on mobile. We saw it was and happily paid the 99 cents. However, the online play doesnt work and after we place our worms, we only have the option to EXIT. Deleting and seeing if we cant get our money back. Complete let down.
This game interface makes it awful to pan, zoom, select weapons, aim airdrops and homing items, etc. Please remedy.
We got this game in hopes of restoring a nostalgic feeling of playing worms. However, any of the Worms games are seriously outdated and no body plays them. We spent 30 minutes looking for a game in both worms 3, and worms 2. Needless to say we only found one match and it did not pass round 3. As sad as it pains us to say. You can still have fun with local games, just dont expect multiplayer games ever.
Dear developers, fix your game!. What is with the flimsy lagtime when battling friends online?. One has to constantly enter and exit. If you techies want to market the app, then consider making it functional for the consumer, otherwise grow up Silicon Valley. Also, the game becomes frozen forcing each player to forfeit matches, Do you really think this type of product is satisfactory? The other features are fine, both campaign and random.
We downloaded the game to play with a friend but when we open Device Contacts to find them it crashes everytime. Can someone help.
So we tamtalky love this game but whenever we try and laying a local game it just sits there for a while then says we lints. And we didnt even play!! Then we press retry and the same thing happens! No matter how many times we press retry it still wont work! Please fix this. Thanks.
There are a lot of updates that need to happen with multiplayer. First, why cant we fast forward through an opponents turn? Also should be able to skip and replay watching turns. Not only this but this is no way to replay your own turn. Also there is no way to stay in the game and have it actively refresh so that you dont have to constantly quit, refresh, and then go back in to play. Also the controls are really hard.
We have the Moga Rebel controller and it controls all the game functions except one that one being chose weapon so we can only use the rocket launcher as our weapon it this issue were fixed it would be a 5 Star game.
We cant recover our old password. Their official website says the password reset service no longer works, so create a new account with a different email. Login by Facebook doesnt work either and shows a message saying the developer is aware of the issue. He game used to be a lot of fun, but simply doesnt work anymore.
We used to love this game and played it a lot. But its apparent that it is no longer maintained. Every 2nd. Online game gets corrupted and hours of local progress is wiped out once in a while. It was fun while it lasted. But its time to pull it off the App Store.
It has been two days and we wasnt able to finish a single online. There is not limit for taking a turn, games are just abandoned. We bought it only to play online with random people and game basically doesnt provide it. We want our money back.
Asco de app, ya lo haba jugado antes y us siento timado yo no se como pude haber pagado por esto quisiera una devolucin.
Worms is fun but none of the iOS versions let you play with your custom game settings on multiplayer. Some settings are enabled but others, specifically time ARE NOT! WASTE OF MONEY. BOOOO.
Idiotic movement control. Cant play. Give us our five bucks back.
The game is really bad and we would like our money to be refunded.
They wont fix this. They released Worms 4 and havent touched this in years.
Freezes at the beginning of every campaign mission, making it unplayable.
We want a refund for this waste thanks.
Disappointed with the experience. Though you would bring old memories with a great UX Not recommended for an iPhone 11 iOS13 users.
Turn based multiplayer and tons of bugs. Sound didnt work after download. Badly in need of an update and not worth the price.
Cant play it, cant get our account back so Its unplayable and we cant do campaign please fix and send us a link so we can reset our account password so we can play.
