How it plays

Turn-based tactical combat is the definitional core of Worms W.M.D, where players alternate turns to position and attack with various weapons. Grid-based positioning on destructible terrain and ranged weapon targeting make spatial tactics the primary decision layer. Weapon trajectories, terrain destruction, and physics-based damage are core to tactical success.
