Super Animal Royale
Super Animal Royale is a wonderfully fun battle royale that is very welcoming of casual players. Combat is fast, and the mechanics are simple. You'll never be left wondering what you did wrong. You just need to click on bad animals. Matches are short and you don't spend a ton of time looting, so the fear of death is much lower than in other battle royales. Super Animal Royale is the kind of game you should always have on your PC.

The gameplay of this top-down 2D battle royale is fast-paced, addictive, and accessible, featuring simple yet polished mechanics like dodge rolling and vision-based fog-of-war that add depth and strategy. It offers a unique, casual experience without pay-to-win elements, emphasizing cosmetic customization and short, intense matches that reward skill and positioning. While some find the gameplay repetitive or lacking innovation, its smooth controls, engaging combat, and charming aesthetics make it a fun and welcoming alternative to traditional battle royales.
“The game plays like a combination of Fortnite and Dota/League of Legends, with an overhead camera and a fog of war mechanic that limits vision to a circular radius around each player, creating constant tension and rewarding smart use of cover, sound cues, and ambush tactics.”
“Super Animal Royale successfully combines a fun and casual atmosphere with competitive gameplay, featuring smooth, fast-paced, and strategic gameplay mechanics that are easy to pick up but have a surprising amount of depth and customization.”
“Gameplay is simple yet deep, fast-paced and exhilarating, with a great balance between frantic action and tactical decision-making; the top-down perspective and unique line-of-sight system make it accessible to newcomers while rewarding mastery and strategic play.”
“Taking the formula of battle royale games like Apex Legends and PUBG, the developers carefully removed anything about those games that was any good and replaced it with laughably poor 2D retro top-down shooter mechanics designed for consoles, and then tried almost every possible way to scam gamers out of money for it.”
“The dodge mechanic and the comically slow bullet velocity make gunfights absolutely abysmal; I cannot hit anything because everyone keeps dodging all over the place.”
“The core mechanics of the game haven't changed a bit, so it still feels extremely dull and bland, but it's somehow worse now as matchmaking can take up to 5 minutes for seemingly no reason.”

70%Super Animal Royale Review
The concept of Super Animal Royale is very now – it draws on all the familiarities of modern mainstream gaming. In a way, then, you could say it’s cutting-edge. In another way, though, it’s all just very familiar, to the point that it’s strangely unremarkable. No individual aspect of it stands out, but it does form an endearing whole. It feels cool to play (when there’s no grievous lag), the map is compelling and the battle royale formula is as much of a buzz as ever. The monetisation model is not in-your-face and the player base is certainly there. It’s free, it’s under a gigabyte, it’s fast, and it’s a good laugh. Why not download it?
