Ballistic Hero VNG brings Worms-like action to an anime-style universe

Ballistic Hero VNG reimagines the Worms-style gameplay with fresh energy.
Blow away your opponents—or allies—with a wild array of over-the-top weapons.
Collect fresh, thrilling loadouts and rare skins, or craft your own unique fighter.

When it comes to mobile genres, virtually nothing is off-limits. This vibrant platform can birth brilliant, inventive twists on tired ideas—or shallow cash grabs. But Ballistic Hero VNG? It’s the last thing you’d expect someone to reinvent.

At first glance, Ballistic Hero and its characters, art style, and overall vibe might seem like a turn-based RPG. Not even close. In fact, Ballistic Hero is one of the rare mobile titles I’d classify as a true Worms-like.

Yes, Worms—the iconic turn-based PvP battler. Ballistic Hero delivers the same slow-burn, high-stakes chaos where you duel friends in deadly, explosive showdowns. Fire off a quick, simple shot—or wait for the perfect moment to unleash a massive barrage from rocket launchers and mortars.

If it works

Ballistic Hero does miss a few classic mechanics that Worms fans might miss. Most notably, there’s no destructible terrain—a defining feature of the series. Still, beyond that, it’s a faithful, if more relaxed, take on the formula.

You’ll need to navigate some gacha mechanics to unlock new weapons and limited-time cosmetics, but you’ll also have the chance to customize your own eccentric fighter. Keep an eye out—Ballistic Hero is landing on Android and iOS later this month.
