The most popular artillery games

Artillery video games are a subgenre of strategy games that involve players taking turns firing projectiles at each other, typically adjusting parameters like angle, power, and sometimes wind conditions to hit their targets. The genre dates back to some of the earliest computer games and has evolved significantly over the years.

Players take turns to fire projectiles at their opponents, typically with the aim of eliminating all enemy units or achieving specific objectives. Players often adjust angle and power to determine the projectile's trajectory. Advanced games may also factor in wind speed and direction.

Notable examples are Scorched Earth, known for its deep customization options and variety of weapons, and the Worms series.
