Review Wormux
One of the most famous games of all time is the traditional Worms, in which players have to carry out a series of turn-based combats using the classic armed worms. Since then, we have seen a considerable amount of other titles based on that one, and today, in particular, we want to dwell on one of the most famous ones, as is the case of Wormux.
The first thing we have to point out about Wormux is that unlike many of the other tributes in the form of new games that Worms have received, in this particular case, we are in the presence of an open-source and free proposal. You won't have to pay a single cent to download and install it, and the fact that it is open-source also assures you that it will continue to be so in the future.
As for the game itself, you will see that there are not too many differences between Wormux and the original Worms, considering that we are again in the presence of a turn-based title. The game's main objective is to ensure you can use your weapons and shoot and attack your opponents. Of course, you must take advantage of each turn to produce as much damage as possible.
It is by this same description that we have just made that we can say that Wormux also has elements of strategy, taking into account that you will have to learn to use the corresponding weapons at the right time, of course. And in fact, the variety of weapons that we have at our disposal is one of the strong points of the game since you will see that we have dynamite, bazookas, grenades, and many others.
Before starting with the entertainment, you must search among the teams that the game puts at your disposal, considering that there are four in total, and each has ten players that will try to defeat the enemy. The important thing is that your team triumphs, regardless of your luck.
Unlike other similar games based on Worms, in this case, we can find many alternatives when getting rid of our enemies, which is undoubtedly one of the program's strong points. We are talking about the fact that it is not only possible to eliminate them by using all kinds of weapons, but curiously enough, we can take their lives in kamikaze mode, even at our own cost.
Well, first of all, the fact that here the protagonists are not those comical armed worms, but in reality, we will find penguins and evilness hitherto unknown in these beings. Few users comment that these characters have some points in common with the logo of the Linux operating system, although that is just a color note.
If you don't want to play against the system's artificial intelligence, you should know that Wormux will allow you to use a Two Player mode, thanks to which you will get an enjoyable challenge, trying to defeat one of your friends. This is not a minor detail considering that many readers don't enjoy single-player entertainment, so we didn't want to leave this feature out.
Needless to say, as regards the game's graphics, they are perfectly achieved, not so much because of the advanced level of design that has been completed, but rather because it is a title that is entirely impossible to confuse with others. Considering its low consumption of system resources, we must point out that Wormux perfectly fulfills what we could expect from the aesthetic point of view.
Then, regarding the rest of the entertainment application, until we get to the game itself, it has a good amount of icons of all colors, so it is a platform that will surely attract the attention of the little ones. From the main menu, you'll be able to choose which section of the title you want to enter, or of course, you can also customize the user experience from the Options .
In summary, we can say that Wormux is a very entertaining game since it has some elements of the classic Worms but changes its main characters, offering us turn-based fun that has little to envy others. If you want a colorful game from the graphic point of view, with all kinds of weapons to defeat enemies, we do not doubt this is a great free and open-source option.
One last issue we did not want to leave unmentioned about Wormux is that in this completely free version, we will not have the chance to develop online games. You must take this into account since, although you can choose whether you want to enjoy a single-player mode or two players simultaneously, you will not be able to connect to the Internet to challenge someone remotely. Or at least, that is what happened to us in our experience testing this game.
