About The Starving Tournament

The Starving Tournament


will be a Multiplayer Survival Game, loosely based on the "The Hunger Games" movies. The open alpha version is already available for public access. Try our open alpha, report bugs or give us your ideas to make it the best game it can be.

About the project



Being fascinated of the "Hunger Games" arena idea and for the lack of a real game for the movies / books we wanted to start our own "Hunger Games" fan project. So we started "The Starving Tournament" - a tournament where 20 players will be put into differently designed arenas with traps, monsters and other dangers. But the biggest dangers are the other players and the HUNGER

Will you be the last one standing and win the Starving Tournament?

We are aware of the fact, that there have been other "Hunger Games" like games before, but we want to go a step further and take more features from the actual "Hunger Games" movie into our Game "The Starving Tournament".
You can help us to achieve this goal, by downloading and playing the alpha version of the game,
report us bugs, give us Feedback and help us to build an amazing GAME!! Feel free to share your ideas, wishes etc. in the comments or write a message.

Fun for free. Not that good but the only hunger games game out there. Need more players though because there is never any multiplayer games available.

[h1]#tinygamereview[/h1] [code] BUT HONEY WE HAVE A HUNGER GAMES GAME AT HOME [/code] 🟥 [b]UNPLAYABLE/UNPLAYED[/b] 🟥 [hr][/hr] 🎮 🟥[b]Gameplay:[/b] 1-2 short sentences describing how it's played (especially if unique), its difficulty, and what's good/bad about it. 📖 🟨[b]Narrative:[/b] One might be tempted to dismiss [i]The Hunger Games[/i] were it not so occupied with the question, "What if late-stage capitalist spectacle devoured all civic virtue?" Collins has the subtlety of a sledgehammer, albeit wrapped in competent prose as she escorts us through a dystopian America where politics, entertainment, and economics have a dangerously-codependent relationship. I daresay it is a surprisingly-fertile text for the examination human dignity; though, one suspects many readers may simply come for the mad archery skillz and relatable existential dread. 🔊 🟧[b]Audio:[/b] there really isn't much 🖼️ 🟨[b]Visuals:[/b] really this demo's only strength, and it could even be higher if not for the item model quality being so drastically different (worse) than the rest of it.
