Looking for an obscure game:

  • Worms-like (turn based deathmatch);
  • 3D;
  • Deformable heightmap terrain;
  • Played somewhere in late 2000s/early 2010s;
  • Very low production value;
  • Likely official modding support, probably involving OBJ model files.

I'd rather not use the centralized forum platform where #TipOfMyTongue exists.

Also accepting hashtag suggestions if I'm missing any useful ones.

I remember it having different characters/buildings, one of them looked like one of those Hoth turrets from star wars, the truncated cone with a flatish disc on top where the gun is. Unclear if it was a mod or I'm just dreaming that though.

Have a nice week!

Edited due to typo, it was 1am sorry lol
Edit2: probably enough boosts, it's exceedingly likely it's Scorched3D.

@kroltan Any chance you're thinking of Liero? https://www.liero.be/

(There has also since been an OpenLieroX: https://www.openlierox.net/ )

EDIT: Sorry, I misread. With the 3D part and no mention of actual worms, maybe you mean Scorched3D? http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/ Basically just Scorched Earth in 3D. It's actually a pretty good job of it too IMO. Lot of fun.

@nazokiyoubinbou @kroltan haven't thought about liero in decades. I played so many death matches of Liero in the high school computer lab. Loved the movement with the grappling hook!

@scribblemacher @kroltan It's rather hard to beat at the price range it shipped at of $0.00. 😁

Apparently it was all the rage at school campuses?
