US box-art of Worms: The Revolution Collection.
Worms Revolution is a turn-based strategy artillery game developed and published by Team17 for consoles and PC on 10 October 2012.
It is the first Fourth Generation Worms game, introducing a new art style, and many new weapons and features, with the most notable being the introduction of a brand new engine. The new engine renders the game's 2D environment in 3D (2.5D), and is capable of advanced water physics; which allows for the generation of water pools above the actual water level. Another new feature is Physics Objects, which can be inert, or contain water, fire or poison. Worms Revolution also introduced classes, which enables specific worms to have specific abilities. It features some of the classic Worms weapons, such as the Super Sheep and the Holy Hand Grenade. Lastly, it also features smoother, more traceable deformation.
A retail version of Worms Revolution entitled "Worms: The Revolution Collection" was released on 3 May 2013, exclusively to the Xbox 360. It contains the game and all of its DLC, as well as Worms 2: Armageddon and all of its DLC. The US version was released on 15 October 2013.
A similar version of this game was released for mobile devices, but a different game altogether. It is called Worms 3.
A PlayStation Vita version called Worms Revolution Extreme was released on 8 October 2013.

Classes[]
- Main article: Classes
The game introduces a new gameplay mechanic in the form of four classes for worms. Each class has a different set of abilities and weaknesses.
Soldier[]
The Soldier is the "normal" worm. The Soldier is the type of worm that has been featured in all the previous games.
Scout[]
The Scout is a tiny nimble worm which can jump very far, but he can get flung really far when hit with a Baseball Bat. Another advantage is that since the Scout is so small, when he uses the Blow Torch he makes a hole so small that the other classes can't fit through. He also gets twice as much fuel for the Jet Pack.
Scientist[]
The Scientist is the one with a big cranium. While he is alive all worms on that team will get 5 health per turn. He can also make enhanced versions of Electromagnets and Sentry Guns. The downside is that he isn't a front-line fighter.
Heavy[]
The Heavy is a big bulky worm which is very slow. He can however not be moved easily and can knock worms back far. The Heavy will also deal more damage with weapons such as Grenades, Bazookas, Homing Missiles, etc.
Terrain[]
- Beach
- Farmyard
- Funfare
- Junkyard
- Mars
- Medieval
- Sewer
- Spooky
*Bolded text are unlocked via DLC.
