Heya. Title says it all. Worms no longer shine! Even through the Worms series have Worms Armageddon, a shiny game, they no longer shine anyway. Spinoffs kept the Worms series shining from the 2nd Generation and till the 3rd Generation. Since there are no spinoffs in newer generations from 4th Generation onward, Worms have nothing shiny in these generations. WE NEED SPINOFFS! WE NEED MORE SHINY SPINOFFS FOR THE WORMS SERIES! For example, a RPG game with Worms elements and EBF (Epic Battle Fantasy) elements. Let's name it Worms: Epic Battlefront, for example. Other details are below.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
You can play single player missions (exploring the mission map and fighting in RPG-like fashion), battle locally with your friends and AI players, join in Worms RPG Warfare through WormNET and battle all over the world, purchase hats, shields and souls, and so on. Unlike in the main Worms games, hats aren't just decorative, they are really useful. They can provide ATK boosts to your worms, give your worms special propeleties (evasion, auto-guard, counter, etc.) and affect the Guard command in battle. Shields provide DEF boosts to your worms, allowing you to take less damage from your opponents. Souls give your worms the ability to cast their assigned weapon, or provide positive status effects to your worms. Also, a new mechanic is introduced in this game: Limit Breaks. This mechanic is taken from FF and EBF series, as well, as centrain other RPG games. Worms can activate a Limit Break Weapon once their Limit Break meter is full. The Limit Break Weapons cost full Limit Break Meter. If the Limit Break meter isn't full yet, a normal attack (Bazooka) is automically executed instead. The Coins and Leveling mechanics also return (that's in favor to other RPG-styled games). You can purcase Weapons for Coins and use them in battle by choosing Weapons option and picking them. Normal Weapons cost WP (Weapon Points). Bazooka is an exception for that, this Weapon is a starter, chosen with the Attack command and costs no WP. Leveling is heavier in Worms: Epic Battlefront. You only start with 1 worm and have to level up to unlock extra worms. Most Normal Weapons and all Limit Break Weapons also require to be unlocked through leveling first in the shop. Worms have 4 stats: HP (Health), ATK (Attack), DEF (Defence) and EVA (Evasion). These stats can be upgraded with Stat Cards, worms also recieve some stat boosts when leveled up and with hats and shields. More things might come as the time progresses.

So what ya think? Do we really need more shiny spinoffs? WA is a shiny game in the main series, but there aren't much spinoffs to enjoy for me.
