The standout new feature of Battlegrounds is clan support! Form a clan, design an emblem, and assign ranks to its members. Who wouldn’t want their Worms sounding like comedians, boxing commentators, and movie announcers? And yes, there are more voices to choose from than ever before. If your team doesn’t have silly names, you’re not doing it right! You can also dress your Worms in a variety of silly hats, eyewear, and mustaches as well as choosing what gravestones will show up when they bite the bullet. Outside of battle, players can engage in the usual customization options like naming their teams and the individual Worms within the team. No friends? No worries, Battlegrounds supports full online multiplayer as well.
You can even create your own levels for local games, though they unfortunately can’t be shared online. In custom games, players can also choose the type of landscape, switch between landscape templates (shapes), and set the density of explosive barrels and other objects. The goal is to kill all enemy Worms in both modes, but Forts puts each team inside of its own base instead of out in the wild. Having set the number of players, you’ll need to choose between Deathmatch and Forts modes.
Guests only have access to the teams the host player has created, so you might want to create a few extra teams before hopping into local battles. Players can sign in as guests, which goes much more quickly than it did on the 360. Worms Battlegrounds allows four players to share a single controller! They don’t even have to have their own Xbox Live profiles, either. Good news for local multiplayer fans who haven’t picked up four Xbox One controllers just yet.
But B is the fire button and X brings up the menu – those two should really be reversed. Pick Modern and A becomes the jump button, which rocks. Battlegrounds starts out the same way, but also offers a Modern control option. The Xbox Worms games have always suffered from a somewhat unnatural control scheme in which the X button jumps. With a whopping total of 65 weapons and items to choose from, battles will be even more varied 9and crazier) than ever before. New items include the Aqua Pack, Winged Monkey, and Mega Mortar. Initially, you’ll only have access to basic armaments like the bazooka, grenades, and dynamite.
Much of the fun in Battlegrounds comes from the humorous arsenal of weapons at your disposal. Players take turns controlling one of their Worms and trying to kill off as many of the other teams’ Worms as possible. Each player gets a team of four Worms, which now come in four classes: Soldier, Scout, Scientist, and Heavy. Whether battling the CPUs or engaging in 4-player local and online matches, Battlegrounds plays just like every mainline Worms game to come before it.
