Slitherine Software UK Ltd. at a Glance

Slitherine Software UK Ltd. has been active in the gaming industry since 2000, though its first recorded releases appeared in 2002. The company operates out of the United Kingdom and maintains a presence on the web at slitherine.com. According to PlayPile data, this publisher or developer has released only 10 games total, with 6 titles listed under their publishing credits and 7 under development duties. Their catalog is heavily focused on strategy games, which make up seven of their ten releases. Within that category, they have five real-time strategy entries and four turn-based strategy projects. They have also ventured into tactical and shooter genres once each. Platform support for Slitherine shows a clear preference for PC Microsoft Windows, which holds nine of their titles. Their reach extends to other systems like Android, iOS, Mac, and various PlayStation and Xbox consoles, but these platforms only hold one or two games each. Some of their older work even appears on legacy hardware like the Game Boy Color and Nintendo DS. The company saw a shift in output over time as well. They released five games during the 2000s, followed by three in the 2010s, and just a single title in the 2020s so far. This decline in annual volume suggests a slowing pace of production or a focus on specific licensed projects rather than frequent releases. Quality trends for Slitherine do not reflect high acclaim. The average rating across their four IGDB-rated titles sits at 58.5 out of 100. Their portfolio contains no great rated games above 80 points. They have two titles that fall into the good range between 60 and 79, specifically Chariots of War from 2003 with a score of 60 and The History Channel: Great Battles Medieval from 2011 with a score of 65. The rest of their rated games are mixed, including The History Channel: Great Battles of Rome at 59 and Aggressors: Ancient Rome at 50. Recent releases like Campaign Series Vietnam in January 2022 have not yet received ratings on the platform. Slitherine merged with Matrix Games in 2010 and adopted the Slitherine Ltd name, while both brands continued to operate under the Slitherine Group. Ageod also joined this group near the end of 2012. Despite these corporate changes, their output remains limited compared to larger industry players. Players looking for strategy content on PC might find some interest in their historical titles, but the low rating average and small library indicate a company that produces niche content without broad critical success.
