When I was still using a PC, Worms 2 was one of my favourite games.
I was never an avid gamer nor did I have the world’s longest attention span.
I’m more of a “wham, bam, thank you ma’am” sort of gamer.
Driven by nostalgia, I went on a search to look for Worms-like games for Mac on the Internet.
It sure took me a while but I did find three clones of the game I used to love.
If you don’t know what Worms is, it’s a turn-based 2D shooting game.
For more information on the Worms lineup, visit thedeveloper’s webpage.
So, here are the three Worms clones that I found and they’re all cross-platform!
The game is still turn-based, no changes there.
online grid gameplay through LAN is an option, and so is playing online via the Wormux server.
Hedgewars
I’m actually very surprised at how much this clone resembles Worms 2.
The only real noticeable change is in the characters.
In Hedgewars, you play a pink hedgehog dressed up in all sorts of different costumes.
If I am allowed one complaint, it’ll be about playing online.
By comparison, Hedgewars isn’t as refined as Wormux.
However, it does offer more original “Worms” gameplay.
The motif is still the same – eliminate the opposing team.
However, the gameplay and weapons are modified.
There are three types of game modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture The Flag.
Then the game starts again.
Worms purist may not enjoy it though.
These games are just for fun.
