Dinsun Review
Now this is more like it. I remember playing Worms on my PC in the late 90s, and this version actually does the legacy justice. It’s the full W.M.D experience, which means you get the vehicles and the crafting, but on a phone. The touch controls are a bit fiddly when trying to make precise jumps, but the core 'aim and shoot' mechanic works well enough. It’s one of the few games on this list that actually requires a brain.
It’s not perfect—the AI can be either braindead or sniper-precise with no middle ground—and the matches can drag on longer than they should for a mobile game. But for a conservative gamer like me, I appreciate that they didn't try to turn it into a gacha game or a battle royale. It’s just Worms. It’s reliable, funny, and satisfying to play.
