So it's basically a 2D Fortnite.

I get that 25 years doing the same thing can be creatively monotonous.

But you are making a game for the youth of today, who don't know the difference from a Holy Hand Grenade to a Ming Vase.

I will play the beta just out of allegiance to Boggie B.

I hope you have another team working on a Actual Worms Game.

was hoping for a sequel to worms mayhem but this just looks like a lazy cash grab

Hey,

Appreciate you taking the time to check out the Beta, even if you're sceptical - thanks!

Looking forward to hearing what you think as a seasoned Worms player.

Or it's basically Liero. Which is really old at this point.

It's kind of annoying that there's a trend where people look at one popular thing and compare it to everything else even if the concept is closer to something else and has been done before. Any game that is difficult is called a "Darksiders of genre X" And every real-time game where the last player wins (sure, the definition of Battle Royale) is called a "Fortnite of genre X". Battle Royale games are nothing new and have existed ages before Fortnite.

it's not any closer to Liero than to fortnite though, if the trailer is anything to go by. It's real time and it features worm characters, sure, but the focus of the game isn't destructable environments and creating your own arena through use of your weapons as terraforming tools. It looks closer to a handful of other games who's names elude me right now. Maybe someone else can remember the names.

Deathmatch Village? I think? a short lived europian exclusive game on the playstation network.
Team Fortress 2D, a demake of Team Fortress 2 played on a 2D perspective.
Even earlier than those two, there was some thing I remember being hosted on cartoon network in the mid 2000s that was a side scrolling deathmatch shooter.

That aside, I think it would be better to actually get our hands on the game and judge it on it's own merits rather than comparing it to other games as a knee jerk reaction to people comparing it to other games.

Liero is not about that. That example video is played in a destructible cavern map, sure, but Liero and especially LieroX feature equally as many indestructible maps, and maps of all sizes. It's fully customizable and I'd hope so will be Worms Rumble.

There's a lot of games that play similarly. Duck Game for example, or the TF2 Demake is actually called "Gang Garrison".

Good to know actually, I shall carefully insert my foot, into my mouth on this topic.

Also, danke for dropping the actual name, I know I had that wrong.
And for remind me about Duck Game. That game slaps and I can't believe I forgot it.

i really understand the frustration of the real time gimmick, it didn't sit well with me at first, i have enjoyed the 40mins so far, I will likely do a full feedback myself. I think the worms character comes through, i find it difficult to aim on the move, but this might come in time, definitely keen to see more, been years since i properly played worms, i'm glad i signed up

Gamer you have plenty of "actual" worms games to choose from. They're doing something new with the IP, if you're not interested go play one of the MANY other "actual" worms games.
