This might put off those players who are used to the more tactical approach that most battle royales reward, but let’s be honest, that’s not Super Animal Royale’s target audience, and I really dig the more arcadey feeling the combat has. I know one of the creators had mentioned they took inspiration from top-down adventure games, but when there are three or four players battling it out, it feels more like a bullet hell. All of this, together with the Super Jump Roll, means fights tend to be up close and personal, as players duck and dive through enemy fire. Additionally, most basic weapons have relatively slow bullet velocity, so hitting enemies at the edge of your vision can be difficult. Your field of view is limited, meaning players who aren’t in your line of sight are invisible. The top-down view also has some big ramifications. Additionally, the map is really well realized, and feels like you’re battling it out in the middle of a war-torn safari park. The art direction of Super Animal Royale is also great: even though there’s this great contrast between the cute, cuddly animals and the weapons they wield, it meshes together incredibly well. There are tons of goofy emotes to unlock and new Super Animals to breed, as well as plenty of silly cosmetics, all of which are adorable. There are even Giant Emus you can ride (there are four types–one is called the Chonk Emu and yes, it is my favorite), one of which just has a knife attached to its face. You can slip someone up with a banana peel and then blast them with an M16, run somebody over in a hamster ball, or bash them over the head with a swordfish or a stick with roasted marshmallows. What really sets Super Animal Royale apart from its contemporaries is just how goofy and cute the game is, in contrast with the somewhat realistically modeled weapons, and its unique top-down view. Getting this timing down is important, as it allows you to traverse the map much more quickly and makes you harder to hit in battle. Additionally, players have access to a Super Jump Roll (imagine the evade from Gears of War), which can also give the player a speed boost when multiple rolls are done in a row with the right timing. You can also find Super Powerups, which vary from faster healing, quiet footsteps, or taking less damage and moving faster through the encroaching cloud of Skunk Gas or Skunk Bombs. Players can also pick up Health Juice, which can then be drunk to regain health, and Super Tape, which is used to repair the players’ armor. You parachute off a massive goose onto the map and are initially equipped with only a melee weapon, but may pick up armor, weapons–ranging from duel pistols to poison dart guns to a crossbow that launches sparrows–and throwables like grenades, skunk bombs, and bananas. Developed by Pixile Studio, Super Animal Royale is a top-down, 2D battle royale where you’re put into the shoes of a variety of cute, cuddly “Super Animals” who are thrust into a 64-animal fight to the death utilizing a variety of (sometimes) cute and (always) deadly armaments.īesides the top-down 2D perspective, players of other battle royale games will find it pretty easy to acclimate themselves.
