Worms: Galactic Tactics introduces fully destructible 3D arenas and blends classic Worms turn-based combat with new additions like Beambow, Meteor Sheep, and Die-napple, all set in a sci-fi galactic stage.

The game preserves Worms’ traditional squad-based, turn-based battles while adding a tactical roguelike structure, with destructible environments, gadget usage, and diverse arena settings ranging from Candyland to the Emperor Flugg’s palace.

Key features include a roguelike progression, powerful upgrades, devious gauntlets, specialist enemy classes, and new weapons such as Beambow, Meteor Sheep, and Die-napple.

In addition to Galactic Tactics, Team 17 is developing a second Worms title that is expected to be more traditional, though details remain unreleased.

The game supports local and online one-on-one multiplayer, with squad customization options including names, hats, voicebanks, and gravestones for worms.

The setting centers on worms being kidnapped to compete under an Emperor’s orders, framing the galactic competition.

Players can die and use a resource called Juice to upgrade their worms and re-enter runs, enabling roguelike loop progression.

Failed runs feed back into future attempts, with Juice earned during the Galactic Gauntlet spent on permanent upgrades after defeats.

Players customize a squad, plan moves, power up weapons, manage crowd reactions, and climb ranks toward a final showdown with Emperor Flugg.

The Galactic Gauntlet is a multi-stage deathmatch campaign where players build a squad and face progressively tougher encounters culminating in the emperor’s challenge.

Overall, the tone blends nostalgia with a fresh take on Worms, mixing traditional gameplay with roguelike and modding features.
