by Hedgewars Project

Developers's description:

"Hedgewars is a turn based strategy, artillery, action and comedy game, featuring the antics of pink hedgehogs with attitude as they battle from the depths of hell to the depths of space.

As commander, it's your job to assemble your crack team of hedgehog soldiers and bring the war to your enemy.


Game Features

* Hilarious and strategic turn based combat for up to 8 players
* Both local and network multiplayer, with optional AI opponents
* Battle on an infinite number of randomly generated maps, with over 22 environments
* Utilise 47 (and counting) devastating weapons! Including the piano strike and explosive robotic cake
* Play the game your way, with 18 different game modifiers, tweak almost every aspect of the match
* Customize your team, with over 120 costumes, 30 graves, 12 forts, 100s of flags and unique voice packs
* Huge battles with up to 48 hogs
* Play both singleplayer and multiplayer minigames
* Plugin your own custom maps, costumes, and other artwork" (taken from the official homepage)

At first sight "Hedgewars" might look like a simple "Worms" clone, but because of the great variety of weapons, game modes and options it might even outrange its great predecessor.

  • Pater Alf :
    Played it for some hours now and I have to say that it's a brilliant game! It's a bit hard to get into it as there is no tutorial or manual when you download the game, but when you understand the basic moves and rules it's great fun and very addictive. There's such a variety of weapons that you can hardly stop playing before you found out how to use any of them. And even then the game won't get boring, because there are several game modes and settings that will keep the game fresh and yourself occupied for a very long time.

    Great gameplay, great design, great technical execution! Do yourself a favour and play this game!!!
  • Pater Alf :
    I'd really love to have a tutorial or at least good manual for this game. It's hard to figure out how to use certain weapons or how to do precise aiming.

    Here's a screenshot:
  • Chroelle :
    Anyone trying this game next please post a screenie. I think the lack of a screenie is keeping a lot of people from playing this gem!
  • Chroelle :
    I have nothing negative to say about this game. Lots of options, plays like Worms with a twist, great graphical side, option to build own team, fun for days, enemies you can choose how hard should be, and lots of different weapons that you should figure out how works. All in all a GREAT GAME!

    Maybe we need a screenshot of this one.
  • eMTe :

  • Chroelle :
    Feel free to make a new topic :)

    EDIT: Written as Zyx suggested two rather similar games. See eMTe's link in next post.
  • Zyx :
    Open source alternative for Worms World Party. Well, techincally this one's in development, but...
