Pro Great artillery style gameplay with many strategic elements added on top in order to give a more deep experience
At its core, Worms 3 is still the same fun gameplay found in all the previous incarnations of the Worms franchise. However, Worms 3 has added two new gameplay elements that increase the amount of strategy in the game, squads and cards. Squads gives individual worms different advantages/disadvantages such as speed or increased damage and you can choose from the various worms to form your team. Cards give you boosts that you can play during your turn such as extra health or weapons.
The upgrades are also not tied to in-app-purchases. You cannot buy yourself the best upgrades and thus the game does not punish you for not buying upgrades.
Pro No game is ever a lock with the included card system mechanic
The new Worms 3 addition of a card system allows players to choose a card after their turn that will directly affect the next players turn. Making for a great mechanic that can turn the tides of a game at any point.
The cards are available for purchase through in game coins that are earned during gameplay, which is a bit of a relief that they are not available through in app purchases.
Pro Convenient cross platform compatibility with iOS and Android allows anyone with the game to play one another
Spaceteam is cross-platform compatible between Android and iOS over Wi-Fi. The cross compatibility makes for a game that anyone with these mobile devices can play.
Pro One person can easily share their in-app purchases
Any in-app content purchase made by any player on the team is made available for the entire team.
Pro Party game aspect makes for frantic and hilarious gameplay
Having to shout out the names of the made-up controls, that need to be used by the group, can be very amusing. Each player must understand the directions shouted at them so to correctly navigate the ship. This can become daunting very quickly, making for a frantic, exhilarating style of gameplay.
Pro Interactive distractions obfuscate the screen, creating more challenge on top of the base gameplay
There can be a number of distractions that will try to cover or make less visible the control panel of the player. Ooze will cover parts of the screen, and panels will slide out of place. The player needs to stay on top of these by putting the panels back in place or by swiping away the ooze, in order to clearly see the controls they are required to interact with. These distractions create an interesting challenge to the players, as they make the gameplay more hectic than it already is.
Pro The amenable design lends itself well to small or large gatherings
The game can be played locally by 2 to 4 players usually, whereas with an experimental massive mode it can be played with 8. Different play options allow the game to be played by a small or large number of people, so regardless of the size of the party or gathering, the game can still be played.
Pro Free to download
Spaceteam is free to download and play, which means that everyone can enjoy the action.
