[1][3] Super Animal Royale is a 2D, top-down, third-person battle royale shooter where up to 64 players compete to be the last person standing using a variety of weapons which include weapons from simple and easy to use SMG's and Shotguns to complex ones such as Miniguns and the Legendary Dogna's Dartfly Gun.

The map features diverse biomes and locations such as Pete's Swamp, Superite Mountain, the Super Penguin Palace, etc.

Experience points are granted based on the player's performance at the end of each game, which allow them to level up and gain access to new potential species.

Cosmetic items can also be obtained that can be used to customize an animal's appearance such as shirts, hats, mustaches, and glasses.

[6] Silverwood stated that his decision to have the game feature cartoon animals was that he liked the absurd humor of juxtaposing whimsical, colorful characters with surprisingly angry and violent personalities.

[8] A later version of the title was released on Steam Early Access on December 12, 2018, which launched with a "Free Weekend" promotion for the following four days.
