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 Stylish design based on Jules Verne
With the Steampunk motif and the way that the game transitions, users can see that a lot of style and imagination was used in the creation of the game.

Cons
Con Paid upfront game that also contains in-app-purchases
For what is an already paid upfront game at $4.99 it also includes in-app-purchases that range from $0.99 - $6.49 per item. Luckily though the purchases are only for cosmetics, which means there is no pay-to-win mechanics here.
Con Single playthrough is short
Lasting about 2 hours a single playthrough is pretty short, though with all the branching story triggers there is plenty of reason to play over and over again.
Con Unintuitive user interface
The inventory system in the game can be hard to understand at first and it can be difficult to control the scrolling of text in some areas.
