Despite being a very small list, this still passes by as a reasonably challenging game to Platinum, though most of this is entirely down to the Gold trophies alone.
None of the bronze trophies are really worth shouting about, however, the "I Am The Worminator" trophy, awarded for killing more than 3 worms in one turn in a ranked match, is practically down to luck, and just hoping you fall into a scenario where you can take out a close bunch of enemy worms.
Using a high impact weapon, such as the Weapon Factory, and making sure it has a good blast radius, is most likely your best opportunity to knock off at least 4 enemy worms in 1 go, and you'll definitely need to be playing against more than 1 team too, given the fact it's extremely unlikely you'll be in a situation where you can kill off an entire team in 1 go.
The rest of the Bronze trophies, which make up almost half of the whole list, are very easy, and even just complete throw-aways in some instances, and the Silver trophies, though not exactly as easy, can still be achieved through natural progression through the game, and go towards the Gold trophies in most instances anyway.
It is relevant to make an exception to the "Embrace the Darkness" trophy, though, awarded for winning 10 games with the last hit coming from a Sentry Gun. It's tough to manufacture a situation where you can kill the final enemy with a Sentry Gun, and given the fact you need to replicate it 10 times in total, it is the stand-out Silver in this list.
It is always easier to leave 1 enemy worm remaining, and set up a Sentry Gun in or around their area, and hope that they trigger it off when they take their turn. You may need to be very persistent, but this is sound tactic that should be effective in fulfilling enough wins to unlock the trophy.
However, the Gold trophies are the ones that take this game's difficulty into the upper end of the scale, with all 6 of them being culpable to some degree of extent.
Starting with the hardest, the "Total Ranker" trophy, awarded for winning 40 online ranked matches across 3 games modes, will take anywhere within the region of 20-25 hours for the average player alone, though this timescale will depend on your win to loss ratio. The relevance of 3 game modes is largely insignificant, because you can do the bare minimum of 1 win in 2 modes, and 38 wins in another, and since Deathmatch seems to be the only mode that people indulge in online, it's just aswell theres no limit on your win distribution.
The "Billy No Mates" trophy, awarded for completing the single player story mode (which contains 26 missions), will take around 5-10 hours, and barring a couple of missions, is incredibly straight forward.
Directly tied into this trophy, is the "Doing it Solo" trophy, awarded for completing the story, challenges and tutorials. The tutorials are easy enough, as you'd expect, but some of the challenges can be deceptively tough, which are mostly quick levels based around beating target times. You'll need to be fast and efficient for some of them though.
Aside from the main Ultimate Mayhem campaign, there's also the Worms 3D campaign, which is covered by the "Fan of the Arts" trophy, awarded for collecting all gallery images available. There are an additional 35 missions within the Worms 3D campaign, with artwork available for beating every single one of them, meaning you'll need to complete the entire campaign in order to unlock this trophy. However, just like the Ultimate Mayhem campaign, there isn't alot to trouble you here, aside the odd mission that might spike the difficulty a touch.
The "Genghis Worm" trophy, awarded for killing a total of 600 worms, might seem like a bit of a grind, but there's enough content in the trophy list for you to be able to achieve this number way before you grab the Platinum anyway. It isn't exactly a modest total by any stretch, but it won't keep you slogging away at the game way after you've finished everything else either.
The final Gold trophy, "Shop-A-Holic", is actually the only secret trophy in the list, and is awarded for unlocking the Kitchen Sink game style, which is only available after everything else in the shop has been purchased. There's a fairly wide selection of items and weapons in the shop, and a decent accumulation of coins is needed to unlock them all, which can be earned through the beating missions within the games single player modes. It isn't exactly tough, but it will be one of the last trophies you unlock, due to the sheer wealth of content you need to purchase before unlocking the Kitchen Sink game style.
Ultimately, this game essentially boils down to the various Gold trophies within. The list is quite sparse of trophies that are difficult in terms of actual skill required, but there's still a pretty hefty time investment, clocking in at around 40-50 hours to complete everything on offer.
