story
177 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story in "Worms Ultimate Mayhem" is a notable improvement over previous entries in the franchise, featuring a charming time travel narrative with voiced cutscenes and a variety of missions across different historical settings. While the humor and creativity in mission design are praised, some players find the campaign's pacing and occasional technical issues detract from the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, the game offers a fun and engaging single-player mode that complements its multiplayer gameplay.
“This game features a time travel story with characters and conflicts, even if they are relatively simple, and it even features a plot twist near the end, again, pretty much unheard of for Worms.”
“The game is packed with content, tons of customization items for your team, a story mode with cutscenes and an actual plot, which is unique in the Worms franchise.”
“The story itself is quite barebones as usual, although I must say most of the jokes cracked in the campaign were pretty funny.”
“Worms 4 single-player missions are uninspired. They are paired with a pretty bland story around them.”
“The single-player campaign is the story of how your wormy team and the professor go fight war with 'the enemy' and get entangled in a time travel adventure.”
