The Slaughtering Grounds
A budget FPS from 2014 that swings for ambitious MMO-lite features but lands hard on technical debt and thin content.
GamerScout Verdict
Historical curiosity for indie game collectors; skip if you want an actually populated multiplayer experience.
Compare Prices(4 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About The Slaughtering Grounds
I went in expecting a scrappy indie shooter, and that's technically what The Slaughtering Grounds is. Digital Homicide tried to bake MMO elements into a first-person arena experience - matchmaking, progression, maybe some persistence - but the execution feels more like a proof-of-concept than a finished game. The gunplay is functional if stiff, and there's a skeletal progression system, but the map variety is minimal and the player population has been nonexistent for years. This is one for digital archaeology buffs or anyone morbidly curious about early indie ambition. It's not broken enough to be entertaining in a "so bad it's interesting" way - it's just thin. If you want a budget MMO-shooter from that era, Tribes or even early Team Fortress 2 mods did the concept better. Skip unless you're specifically hunting forgotten 2014 experiments.
