Homelands recalls the ‘Forts’ mode seen in World Party, where each team has a building they can launch attacks from.

There’s also a handful of new multiplayer modes, some of which can only be played against human players. The sniper rifle is one of the rare Worms weapons that actually works better in 3D. It’s not exactly complicated or ever laugh out loud funny, but it’s ample motivation to make your way through the missions. Cutscenes both pre-rendered and in-engine provide silly dialogue and the occasional slapstick, complete with the voice actors providing (subtitled) high-pitched gibberish. The plot still isn’t there for much for than silliness the nutty Professor Worminkle uses his students to mess with the operations of a pack of enemy worms, before going off with them on a trip through time. This time, however, there’s only one continous storyline, broken up with FMV cutscenes with each change in location. Mayhem features a story mode about going to different places in history, much like what Forts had on offer. Actual movement hasn’t gotten any faster, either, which tools like the ninja rope being somewhat too difficult to rely in 3D to get from place to place. This means that a lot of the time, you’re going to find your worms right in the middle of open terrain, which is never going to be a safe place to be. The most cover you’ll often get comes from hiding behind objects or ducking into the occasional building. You can no longer really dig yourself into the terrain to defend yourself from attacks, especially since landscape damage still doesn’t feel like it’s as noticeable as it should be. While a lot of frustration has been removed, the 3D perspective hasn’t really added anything to the general gameplay, either. Another improvement is that there’s a little more ground beneath you, meaning it takes more than one errant explosion to expose the deadly water underneath the ground. Sometimes there’s more or less water breaking up the various chunks of land, but in general you’re left with much more solid land to work with. Maps are generally smaller on the average both horizontally and vertically, as well, which means your projectiles generally don’t have as far to travel to hit their target.

This time around, you can expect the generator to give you flatter, wider, islands where almost all of the vertical elements come from prefabricated structures like buildings or volcanoes. Something that makes the game far more playable are the way random maps are generated, something that was a source of much frustration in Worms 3D. It’s more useful when it’s not in walking distance. A more minor tweak is the ability for the ninja rope to grab crates, barrels, and bombs, tugging them closer towards your worm for your own purposes.

Once placed, it’ll swivel to face any worm that comes too close, making it perfect for area denial. The highlight and most versatile of all is the sentry gun, a weapon that’ll see several future appearances. Bubble Trouble drops a machine on the ground that creates a shield, protecting worms from all attacks that come from outside the bubble. The Tail Nail is a hammer that prevents enemy worms from moving without taking out the ground beneath them, leaving them easy targets for future strikes. With a new Worms game come new weapons, all of which vary in how often you’ll use them be used. After the innovative but somewhat misguided Forts, however, some might appreciate the familiarity. What Mayhem really does is improve on what 3D introduced, albeit not quite to the extent some might have hoped. The result is actually far more playable than the last couple of attempts, but is still unlikely to change the mind of anybody who felt the Worms games worked best from a 2D perspective.

All except for the series remaining in the third dimension, at least – for whatever reason, Team 17 saw fit to give 3D one more try. After the sudden detour Forts would take with the series, Mayhem just as sharply returns things to the status quo.
