What’d you think?: Basically a 3d version of Worms, complete with teams representing broad caricatures of different nationalities — a lot of big WW2 players, despite the game being set in WW1. I chose the Russians, pigstroika, and was deeply hurt by all the puns, both porcine and not. I killed a German pig named Herr Gel. Goddamnit. As you play on you can upgrade your team and send them down different paths, sniper, engineer, medic, heavy weapons. If a pig dies in two separate battles, they are lost permanently, and you can get yourself in a situation where your rookie pigs can’t pass a mission.
