Worms Revolution

Team 17 is bringing back its bread-and-butter franchise with Worms Revolution, a surprising and appropriate sequel in the timeless, turn-based classic. Coming to Xbox Live Arcade, PSN, and Steam soon, Revolution adds a number of new factors to an established formula, most of which are experimental and out of the ordinary for the simple strategy series, and all of which work in its favor.

Purists can dial everything back for a classic Worms battle, of course, but it's Revolution's additions that'll help Revolution survive in the gene pool.

Character ClassesFor the first time, class-based multiplayer comes to Worms. When you start the game, you'll have access to a standard soldier. As you burn through the single-player campaign and puzzles, you'll earn access to additional units, which you can select leading into each battle. Do you want the Scout -- the fast but frail fellow? Maybe, but the heavy worm can take more damage than anyone. On the other hand, you could deck out your team with Scientists, who heal their squad at the end of each turn
.

The values and importance of each are simple but apparent, and while the classes themselves aren't breaking new ground, they really mix up the formula. You and your opponents will play Revolution fundamentally different than any other Worms game because of 'em.
