Worms Revolution is the next iteration in the Worms series. The game builds upon the same fundamentals as earlier editions in the series, with some new elements.

The game uses a 3D engine, but the game is still two-dimensional. Like in earlier games, teams of worms try to take each other out with a variety of familiar weapons. Some new weapons are included in the game such as a water pistol, which makes use of the game's new water physics. Pools of water are included in the randomly generated levels and by deforming the terrain and digging tunnels, the water can flow to different locations, washing worms along. Random objects in the terrain now also act more as you would expect them to: a giant box of rat poison releases a poison cloud when destroyed and a can of lighter fluid creates a sea of flames.

Worms can now have a class that grants them bonuses such as receiving bonus health each round or being able to jump and run better.

Like in previous games, there is a high range of customization for the worms and a number of game modes for both single, vs. AI, local and online multiplayer.
