Similar to earlier Worms games, the single player campaign features twenty-five missions across five environments: Prehistoric, Viking, Inca, Feudal Japan and the Industrial Revolution.

In addition to campaign mode, the game also features ten Worm Ops missions that feature time attack modes.
Gameplay follows on the earlier games of the series, in which teams of worms take turns to use a variety of weapons and items in order to eliminate the opposing teams. The game, likeWorms Revolution, has four different classes each improved with new special abilities. This is also the firstWorms game to addSteam Workshop support.
