Flockers is a puzzle game developed by Team17. It was released on 19 September 2014 to Steam, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as a downloadable title. Europe and Australia also received retail releases.
The Sheep and Super Sheep from the Worms series appear as the main protagonists of this game. The Dynamite is also referenced. Unlike most games in the series, Worms (as we see them in Revolution, 3, Clan Wars, and Battlegrounds) appear as the main antagonists of the game as they use various machines to try and kill off your sheep.
Gameplay[]
The gameplay is similar to Psygnosis' Lemmings series. The objective is to guide a group of Sheep as they attempt to escape the Worms' weapons factory.
Reception[]
Flockers received mixed reactions. According to Metacritic, the game got three positive reviews, seven mixed and only one negative. It has been described as unoriginal as it is similar to Lemmings.
Trivia[]
- This is the fourth Worms video game to be rated T for Teen, with the previous ones being Worms 3D, Worms Forts: Under Siege, and Worms 4: Mayhem and the other one being Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition.
- It is also the first Worms video game to be rated PEGI 16+ in Europe, most likely due to the high usage of blood and gore that's used in-game.
