Worms: Battle Islands Coming to PSP this Winter

Kris Erickson • Sep 23, 2010 • Comments ()

In Tactics Mode, the player takes control of their very own Secret Island Base made up of many different islands, each island imparting a tactical advantage for the player to use at the beginning of a game. For example, the player could recon a battlefield before the war commences, or snipe an enemy worm to gain the upper hand; each one of the 16 islands available in game can be used to compliment the player's individual play style. Take the fight online and, should you be victorious, you will have the opportunity to steal an item from your opponent's island for your own personal use.

Another first in the world of 2D Worms is a comprehensive weapons editor. With it, you can create your ideal Worms weapon, tweak and tune with a multitude of adjustable elements and then take it to the battlefield to lay waste to the opposition! Melee weapons, grenades, missile weapons and airstrikes are all available to create, meaning that each player has the opportunity to field an entirely individual armory in every match. The game includes enhanced worm customization elements including masks, backpacks and custom power bars, and an extensive landscape editor.
