It features a few weapons that were only available on consoles as DLC, along with a few extra exclusive missions. In 2010, the game was released on Steam under the title Worms Reloaded. In the long run, the game’s appearance on consoles also serves as somewhat of a quiet admission that the series’ adventures in 3D just weren’t meant to be, for better or worse. There’s little you’d miss in its absence, aside from a few weapons that would never see a return appearance.

It’s functional, but with so many other games that try to do more with the series, and likely with bigger playerbases, there’s little need to go for this one in particular. Overall, the worth of Reloaded will likely depend on how much you enjoyed Open Warfare 2 and just how badly you need to play it in your own home. The random events from Open Warfare 2 are missing as well, although how much you may miss them will be a matter of opinion. While the many game options that Armageddon allowed you to tweak aren’t devastating in their absence, one has to wonder if a purely 2D game would suffer for having more than four worms per team. Without a handheld’s limitations to keep in mind, a lot of the missing options should have their absence called into question, as well. The usual campaign mode dispenses with any sort of cutscenes to reward your progress, which while understandable for a downloadable title, feels like a downgrade. Several features are missing since Open Warfare 2, however, making the package feel a little paltrier than usual.
