What is liero?
Liero is a earthworm simulation for one or two players with
many powerful weapons. Finish in origin, liero has gained a
following over the past couple years. Although the graphics
are simple and it is dos based, the game play is incredible,
and the game is incredibly addictive.
How is it different from the game Worms?
Well, the main difference is that liero is real time, which
means you don't take turns, which makes for a more action
packed more interesting game, as opposed to the turn based
play in worms. Also, the graphics are not necessarily as good
in liero, although they have great character and you will not be
burdened at all by them, in fact you may even like them better.
In addition, liero is freeware and it is so small it
fits on a floppy disk. Another cool thing is that you can dig
through the landscape without special tools.
Can you make your own levels?
Yes, you can use the one provided with the game (which is
very crippled), or you can use the current favorite,
wormhole, which allows you to use any bitmap as a
level.
Are there weapons?
Yes, yes, yes. Lots of weapons, and good ones. Check out
what can be in your arsenal on the
weapons page. There are 40 weapons
in all. Now with Liero Kit 1.6 beta 2 (download here)
you can actually change the weapons and save them.
In Worms there is a Ninja Rope, does Liero have one?
Yes. Some say it is better too. It is very long and
realistically elastic. Also, unlike Worms, you can aim with
weapons from it, it's unlimited, and it's not a weapon you
select (it's always something you can use).
What are the system requirements for Liero?
Take a look at our information on
the game.
I just got liero, what are all the things I will need to be caught up to the fast
paced world of liero?
You will need liero, the game (download here). That's the bare
minimum, but let me tell you, liero is an addiction that grows. You WILL want more, so you
should also get liero kit, wormhole, the blood increaser,
(download here), some graphic mods,
(download here), sound mods
(download here), and of course some propaganda material such as
wallpaper, icons, and music (download here).
How can I take screen shots of Liero?
Use the PrintScreen key, and if that doesn't work (and it often doesn't), use F12, which is
supposed to take a screen shot and save it as a bmp in your liero directory. If all else fails,
you can download a screen capture program like SnagIt. Also, you can hack Liero so that
PrintScreen always works... Dom Orchard did. Contact him if you want a version of Liero that
enables PrintScreen.

Does it work for Unix/Linux?
No, but there is a very close clone called
NiL.
Is Liero fun?
yes.
Who is the creator of Liero?
Joosa Riekkinen, a cool guy from Finland.
Can you adjust the amount of blood?
From 0% to 500%, and you can increase it even more with an
add-on editor you can find at
wormhole. The gore, to some people is the most fun part.
I, personally, find it distracting, and sort of crude.
Is there a version of liero in 3d?
No, but there is one in development. Check out
the site.
What is the scientific name for moose?
Well, that's not really relevant, but it is Alces alces (genus, species).
Where can I get liero, and how much does it cost?
Your in luck. You can get it right here, and it's freeware,
so you don't have to empty your wallet.
Does Liero have cheats?
No, maybe in upcoming versions? Although if you want to do lots of cool stuff, that
is totally possible. You can make your health almost off the charts, along with your
lives. So that is sort of like cheating.
If I like Liero, what other games might I like?
Well, check out our liero clones page which includes a bunch of games
that have been likened to liero.
How do I use mods?
Mods differ between types and how you install them. The easiest thing to do is download a
utility to do it all for you (like Liero Kit is excellent for this!). But if you really don't
want to download a program, you can rename the file liero, and overwrite the default one, just
make sure you have a backup.
How many possible worm colors are there?
That would be 63 to the third power, which is 250047 color combinations.
What does "inderdaad" mean?
It means "indeed."
If I want my worm to blend into the board, what color should I use?
Using a RGB value of 40,20,0, which is the dirt color, almost does the trick, and if you want
the rock gray color, use and RGB of about 28,28,28.
