Worms Armageddon includes a very high level of customizability – in multiplayer games or skirmishes, the player can create custom game modes with preferred gameplay options and weapon sets. In the past, it used to keep a score and ranking system for the players. The host can choose settings such as the landscape and scheme. This service allows one player to host a game online and others to join it. Worms Armageddon features a multiplayer Internet service called WormNet. Additionally, hotseat can be combined with online play, so multiple human players can use each computer. Online multiplayer is set up similarly to local multiplayer but allows the players to be at separate computers. If multiple human players are using the same computer, the game functions in a hotseat mode. Additionally, multiple worm teams can form an alliance for the match by selecting the same team color – they will still operate separately in movement rotation but share weapons and score. The matches can use any combination of human and computer teams, provided at least one team is human.

Local multiplayer allows the player to select which teams participate in the battle as well as the number of worms and handicaps, which options and weapons are used, and the level to be played on.

Worms Armageddon includes a series of training missions, a single-player campaign with premade missions, a deathmatch mode in which the player fights increasingly difficult and outnumbered battles against the computer, local multiplayer, and online multiplayer. In homage to the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, one of the game weapons is a Holy Hand Grenade, with a sound-effect reminiscent of the Hallelujah chorus from Handel's Messiah. These weapons are often based on cartoonish themes, such as the French Sheep Strike, and usually devastating in power.

The special weapons are more powerful than regular weapons and often offer special abilities super weapons will rarely fall in weapon crates. In addition to normal weapons, during team creation, each team chooses a special weapon which becomes available to them after a certain number of turns. Depending on the game options, additional weapons may randomly fall onto the terrain in airdropped and teleported crates. Some weapons may not become available until a certain number of turns pass. In a normal match, all teams begin with the same weapons, based on the chosen weapon set. Some are based on real-life arms, such as the shotgun, bazooka, and hand grenade others are rather fanciful and cartoonish, such as the sheep, which serves as a mobile explosive, and the skunk, which releases poisonous gas. The game includes a wide variety of weapons, including melee, projectile, and explosive weapons, as well as airstrike-based attacks. A worm can be killed either by exploding after having its health reduced to zero or by being knocked into the water around and below the level. When hit with a weapon, the worm will lose health depending upon the power of the weapon and the directness of the hit. The objective of a traditional match is to defeat all opposing teams by killing their worms, although in the campaign some missions have other objectives such as collecting a specific crate.Įach worm begins the round with a specific amount of health, which is predefined by the chosen game options or by scripting in campaign levels. Worms can walk and jump, as well as (when the proper items are available) swing by rope, parachute, teleport, and bungee. During a single turn, a team can only move one of their worms (unless an item that allows the team to select their worm is used). Gameplay is turn-based, with each team moving in sequence, which is determined randomly, across two-dimensional terrain.
