14 DAY TRIAL // The follow up to the highly-acclaimed Worms 2: Armageddon has finally arrived, and it’s specifically designed for iOS platforms. Worms 3 is now live in the App Store and goes for $4.99 / €4.49.
Worms 3 has an awesome new Card Mode that lets you alter the start and end of each turn by the playing strategic cards.
The new Worms game offers 27 single-player missions across 4 new themes (Beach, Spooky, Farmyard and Sewer), and allows players to customize their squad with a lot of gear, including six new weapons and two returning classics (Old Lady and the Homing Pigeon).
“ENLIST your perfect battle combination as you choose your worms from a new ‘Class’ system - Heavy, Scientist, Scout and classic Soldier. Each has their own unique skill and ability,” says Team17.
“Show off your skills by earning Achievements! A delightful blend of both the simple and complex, these goals have been deliberately engineered to push you and your wormy skills to the limits!” according to the game’s creators.
The Leaderboard provides an additional incentive to try and worm up the ranks, while AirPlay integration lets you hook up the game to a TV set and play on one device (preferably a tablet) with up to four players.
According to Team17, “The active player can plot their move secretly on the iOS device while the waiting gamers can witness the move on the TV screen” Pretty cool stuff!
The game needs only iOS 4.3 but don’t be fooled by the low software requirement. The developers note that iPhone 3GS and “lesser hardware” is not recommended for this game.
In other words, make sure you’ve got at least an iPhone 4 or an iPad 2 before you pluck the $4.99 / €4.49 for this one.
