Slitherine

Slitherine at a Glance

Slitherine is a British publisher and developer based in the United Kingdom that has been active from 2010 through 2024. Founded in 2000, the company merged with Matrix Games in 2010 to create The Slitherine Group. You will find their catalog primarily focused on strategy games, with 29 titles falling into that category out of 30 total games listed on PlayPile. They also publish simulator games and turn-based strategy titles, while their output includes a small number of tactical, real-time strategy, and adventure games. Their platform reach is heavily concentrated on PC for Microsoft Windows, appearing on 29 different releases. They have released games for iOS, Mac, and various PlayStation and Xbox consoles, but those numbers remain very low compared to their PC presence. The quality of their work varies significantly across their catalog. The average IGDB rating across 18 rated titles sits at 61.4 out of 100. Their best received games include Order of Battle: World War II and Battle Academy, both from the 2010s holding an 80/100 score. Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy and Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon also secured solid scores of 70 during that period. More recently, Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance reached a 76/100 rating in early 2024. Despite these highs, the company has seven titles rated in the mixed range between 40 and 59 points. Recent releases like Stargate: Timekeepers hit the 60 mark, while newer entries such as ICBM: Escalation and Scramble: Battle of Britain lack user ratings on the platform so far. Their output has shifted slightly over the decades they have been active online. The company published 17 games during the 2010s and 10 titles in the 2020s. This suggests a reduction in volume as their career progressed. While they maintain a niche position in war and strategy simulations, their recent track record shows inconsistent quality with a cluster of mixed reviews alongside their few great entries. They do not appear to be releasing games at the same pace as they did ten years ago.
