Evaluation

Against All Odds launched on May 19, 2023 as a multiplayer parkour racing game. Just six months later, on November 20, 2023, the developer posted a heartfelt message explaining that the ongoing costs of online services could no longer be sustained. Rather than shut the game down entirely, the team chose to transition it to a single-player-only experience. On December 1, 2023 (with the update shipping December 4, 2023), the game was overhauled: multiplayer, creative mode, purchasable cosmetics, and combat were all removed, replaced by a self-contained offline speedrunning experience with 100+ free cosmetics, a rank system, and a new stage called "Astral Acceleration." The developer's November 20, 2023 post explicitly framed this as the conclusion of the game's evolution, expressing gratitude to the community and describing the transition as a sunset of the game's original vision. No future content, roadmap, or ongoing development was mentioned after the December 2023 update. The game is available for purchase at $4.99 as a complete, self-contained offline title with no further content planned or announced.

About this game

Welcome to Slaughter League, the next global sports phenomenon. Pit yourself against incinerating flamethrowers, electrifying tesla coils, and of course, those good old-fashioned mutilating buzzsaws using a blend of decisive parkour platforming, all the while being hilariously narrated by our announcers.

Do you have what it takes to brave the Slaughter League and come out in one piece? Warning: the odds are not in your favour (hence the name)!

Participate in twisting set piece races, dashing down a track where almost every step leads to a hilariously grisly death for your custom racer, created using 100+ cosmetic items!
Try to beat the clock with as few deaths as possible - but remember, sometimes losing a limb or two to a power tool might be worth it to cut a few minutes down the road! That may mean the difference between a Gold and a Perfect rank!
The quicker you place, the more Rank Saws you get (don’t cut yourself, these things are sharp). The more Saws you get, the more tracks you unlock, with new and inventive ways to die!
Death CAN be all fun and games! Enjoy absurd ragdolling, varied death animations, and world-class commentary. Brutal slaughter has never been more fun!
