Team 17’s violent little worms will be turning their guns into golf clubs and their bombs into golf balls starting later this year. Coming to PSN, Steam, and iOS gadgets, the Worms will still retain a lot of their classic features, like sheep, magnets and mines, with the added addition of mean old women. Plus, there will be obstacles like “castles that teleport your ball, cannons that shoot it across the landscape and even obstructive comedy bats! Only skillful shot execution and clever use of special powers such as the parachute ball, or the ability to slow time down will see you hit par and progress to the next hole.”
“We’ve had a great deal of fun playing the game in multiplayer during development,” head of design John Dennis said in the announcement, “and with four-player social multiplayer support, it has all the hallmarks of the Worms brand: the trash-talking, pressure to make the shot, terribly unhelpful ‘advice’ from opponents, and often hilarious consequences when that risky shot that could have won the game goes terribly wrong. If players get half as much enjoyment out of it as we’ve already had, then we’ll be very, very happy.”
“Who could have known that two of our favourite things would work so well together?” says Team 17 Head of Design John Dennis, in his finest chequered trousers and snazzy sweater. “While probably not an obvious combination, Worms Crazy Golf is an irreverent mash-up of our own turn-based strategy game “Worms” and everyone’s favourite turn-based game of ‘hitting little balls with sticks’.”
