>Liero is a video game for MS-DOS, first released by Finnish programmer Joosa Riekkinen in 1998. The game has been described as a real-time version of Worms. [...] Inspired itself by the earlier game MoleZ, Liero provided inspiration for the later games Soldat and Noita.
Correct. That's the crucial difference to Worms; similarities include destructible terrain, similar (large) choice of weapons and importance of ninja rope to move around.
