Worms World Party Remastered

Worms World Party was released back in 2001 and was the next game after the very popular Worms Armageddon, so expectations were high. It uses the same engine, so it’s very similar in terms of visuals and gameplay. It added some new features, with a bigger focus on online multiplayer, but overall, it feels slightly off. The single-player campaign has more missions. It’s a bit easier but less interesting, with more emphasis on platforming. And the weird ranking system is still here, so gold medals are annoying to get if you don’t earn them on your first try. There are more training missions, but for some reason time stops while using your weapons, so you can just spam them and still get great times. There’s also Time Attack, which consists of shorter, fast-paced missions. So there’s more single-player content overall. Now, this is the Remastered version, and that’s where the problems begin. The graphics got upgraded to 1080p and 60 FPS, there’s cloud saving, Steam achievements and leaderboards (but only for training and not Time Attack?), and average controller support. But this is the bare minimum for a remaster released 14 years later. And there are a lot of issues, like white windows appearing and FPS drops (which are fixable). Starting the game and going to the options for the first time greeted me with a black screen that only got fixed after changing the resolution. And many times, the game would constantly alt-tab after mouse clicks, which was irritating, especially because there’s no windowed mode. And returning to the game is a gamble: you can get back immediately, get stuck for a bit before being able to return, or have to force close it in Task Manager. Oh, and even after returning, the mouse may not work at all, so it’s back to alt-tabbing roulette. This was by far the most aggravating thing about this game for me. What makes all this sting even more is that Worms Armageddon, with all the updates over the years, doesn’t suffer from any of these issues and is stable for the most part. Not only that, but it also supports even higher resolutions and FPS, and has a windowed mode, among many other options. The cherry on top is that, despite the bigger focus on online multiplayer, almost no one is online, unlike Worms Armageddon. So, the only reason I can see for playing this is to experience the unique single-player content. Other than that, you’re just better off playing Worms Armageddon instead. But even then, with all the issues I’ve experienced, I have to give this a negative rating.

I love this game, but my minimum expectation was that it could... run... on a modern PC... cause its remastered and all.. but it can't... Can barely force close it :|

[h1] questa remastered non s'ha da fare [/h1] i giochi di worms sono sempre stati davvero belli e coinvolgenti,ma questa volta devo accodarmi alle recensioni negarive. il problema?bug grafici,quadrati bianchi ovunque (anche nelle opzioni,anche se piccoli) che rendono il gioco....ingiocabile,si salva solo il giocatore singolo (ovvero il quadrato in alto a sinistra,l'unica partita che NON crea problemi). se worms world party remastered fosse uscito a metà anni 90,si aspettavano svariati mesi per avere i cd con le patch per correggere tutto,ma è un gioco uscito nel 2015, in un epoca dove i cd non ci sono e si patcha tutto in un momento,aggiornando il gioco. è stato fatto qualcosa per migliorare questi "bug grafici"?ai miei occhi non credo (se il problema sono io,non ho idea di come risolverlo) conclusione:nonostante questi problemi,non fateci caso alle ore di gioco,sono state fatte per prendermi le carte collezionabili

Game won't work until you manually set compatibility settings, and after that game graphics will stutter. Not recommended.

way too much troubleshooting work to make it run on modern systems despite being released as a remastered product... and even after you do their job to fix and run it without stutters, the difficulty on each level for the training and campaign missions varies so much between one and the next, those are either too dumb and easy or extremely autistic when it comes to performing perfectionist movements and shots (not to mention the missing content they removed out of fear for potential copyright infringement or just embarrassment to the company name (i'm not joking, search for the missing donkey kong "inspired" map for instance and prove me wrong)) tl;dr - time waster, hot garbage, the beginning of the end for the franchise, stay on armageddon

As most people say, basically unplayable. There's literally 10 people playing right now on SteamDB. Team17 can you PLEASE for the love of god either fix it properly or even better: Release a free browser version for a 25 year old game so friends can hop in and play! Doesn't even need to have matchmaking, anticheat and whatever, just a lobby for a couple of friends. That's not asking too much! Or allow the community to do so by releasing the code. It's not like you're even making any money from the game remastered or not.

Got it refunded as it had white window pop ups blocking the screen and game play. be great if you got this sorted! Great game from childhood, would love to play again.....

The game doesn't work properly as it is. Even with a troubleshooting guide, it's very unstable. The FPS during menues can reach rocket speed and the game crashes without warning. Every loading screen is a gamble: will the game crash or not? The new sound effects are all right, but they add nothing to the experience. The menus seem too polished, as if someone raised the contrast to max and used a noise reduction tool at the same time. It doesn't look nice. Considering that Worms Armageddon works perfectly fine, is much cheaper and has a larger community, there is no reason to buy Worms World Party. At all.
