History VideoGame / SuperAnimalRoyale

* GreyAndGreyMorality: If ''Super Animal Royale Tonight'' is anything to go by, then you have the Company, and other SAW-aligned forces, who have questionable ethics when it comes to creating the Super Animals and sending them out to fight. On the other side, [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized the Rebellion]] is no more scrupulous, willing to do anything in the name of "liberation." However, ''SART'' shows that there are sympathetic characters among both sides – especially in Season 2.

** In the Season 2 finale of ''Super Animal Royale Tonight'', we're treated to [[spoiler:Catfive killing Peep Chirps as she rescues Joe Clucks V and VI]]… and then Donk warily cuts to the episode's Blooper Scooper (reel of player fails).

* CombatMedic: In Duo's or Squads, someone acting as a medic is very much possible to do. Dropping health juice or using the Dogna's dart rifle to heal allies saves on your allies' own health juice reserves, and if one is sufficiently skilled enough, heal people ''mid-fight''.

* HealingShiv: Dogna's Dart Gun will heal allies (but poison enemies) if you shoot them with it.

* CarFu: You can use the hamster balls scattered around the map to move around quicker, but you can also use them to run your enemies over.

* AscendedGlitch: Downplayed as it's not exactly a glitch; rolling while running makes you go faster, allowing for better escapes or positioning. The devs then added a mechanic where well-timed jumps grant you a minor speed boost.

* DevelopersForesight: This might be the first game in history whose chat swear filter includes the word [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom "yiff"]].

* FakeLongevity: Getting the higher level breeds (alternate forms of a Super Animal. For example, the Super Dog has the Labrador, Husky, and Corgi breeds) can be tiresome sometimes: firstly, you need to reach a certain level in order to unlock that Super Animal (the current last Super Animal to be unlocked, the Super Bat, requires you to be level 80); then, you need to grind for DNA to create it. Animal DNA is entirely random and the amount depends on how well you played in each match (you can use Super Magnets, which makes it so you'll receive a guaranteed drop of a specific Super Animal, to alleviate it though); ''then'' you need to gather ''MORE'' DNA to create the breed you want (more than you needed to create the base Super Animal). Not only that, but you need Super Serum, which is a random drop that you ''may'' receive after a match (you get some when leveling up though).
** Thankfully, there's daily missions that can reward you with Super Magnets, Animal DNA and Super Serum, alleviating the grind.
* FallingDamage: Averted. After jumping from the Super Giant Eagle, you can put away your umbrella to fall faster. Hitting the ground, however, doesn't cause damage, but briefly stuns you instead.
* FogOfWar: It's a top-down game, but the scenery casts line-of-sight shadows that make items and other players invisible.

** Super Animals can have Mini Animal pets that look like just smaller, quadrupedal versions of themselves.

* GuideDangIt: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. There's a few special Milestones, called Super Secret Milestones, which do not describe what you need to do in order to complete them. They're not that hard though; by looking at the rewards, the player can have an vague idea of what needs to be done.

* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal[=/=]AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Players can only equip one clothing-slot item at a time, and only a few of them (such as dresses and costumes) qualify as entire outfits on their own.
* HaveANiceDeath: You will be met with several animal-related puns every time you die.

* HealingShiv: Dogna's Dart Gun will heal allies (but poison enemies) if you shoot them with it.
* HellIsThatNoise: Whenever you're inside the Super Skunk Gas, you will hear some... rather eerie sounds.

* RewardsPass: The "Animal Pass", which offers cosmetics, currency and DNA in both free and paid tracks. It's main difference between other games, though, is that these passes can be purchased and accessed after their respective seasons end as well as having multiple passes active at once.
* RewardingVandalism: In addition to the ubiquitous breakable crates, the Super Pyramid and its surroundings are littered with [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda familiar-looking]] clay pots that serve the same purpose.

* StoryBreadcrumbs: There's a good amount of information that can be derived from both the promotional material and gameplay locations. Of note:

* ThreeQuartersView, with some rather tall buildings to boot. Players are prevented from [[BehindTheBlack hiding behind them]] in a few ways: One, horizontal walls that are more than chest-high have a dead zone above them where players can't stand. Two, the entire top halves of buildings are semi-transparent from ground level and disappear completely when you get close. Finally, a number of buildings have a line of trees behind them, which also become semi-transparent as well when players are behind them.
* UniversalAmmo: Ammo for the weapons are split into simple types, "little bullets" for weapons such as pistols and tommy guns, "big bullets" for larger guns such as magnums and aks, "rifle bullets" for the hunting rifle and snipers, "shells" for all shotguns, and "universal ammo" for miscellaneous which includes dart guns, egg launchers, and crossbows.

* SpeakingSimlish: The super animals speak entirely in "bwah-bwah-bwah"s pitched up to chipmunk levels. This includes when players talk to each other using the chat. The exception (not counting the announcers in the promo videos) is Jennifer Dogna, who speaks in distinct bow-wow noises instead, not unlike Blue from ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues''.

* AnimalsNotToScale: All Super Animals – whether they be cats, rats, hippos, dogs, songbirds, horses, or monkeys – are the same size.

* FurryConfusion: Super Animals can have Mini Animal pets that look like just smaller, quadrupedal versions of themselves.

* S.A.W. vs Rebellion: A class-based CaptureTheFlag mode where two teams of 24 animals fight for territory and try to hold onto their flags as long as they can.
* Mystery Mode: Plays like the standard Battle Royale gamemodes but with random modifiers applied each match, such as making bullets incredibly fast or slow, only allowing specific weapon types to spawn, or [[AbnormalAmmo making weapons fire bananas instead of bullets]].
* The Bwoking Dead: A 40-player cooperative zombie mode where the survivors must try to hold out long enough for an evacuation plane to arrive while avoiding being infected by [[OurZombiesAreDifferent the Cluckles]], zombified Super Chickens controlled by deceased players.

Super Animal World was a theme park island resort, with its main draw being the Super Animal: anthropomorphic animals created via a breakthrough in genetic engineering. Humans would fly over to interact with said animals... until [[CrypticBackgroundReference "The Incident"]], where various Super Animals revolted and tried to take over the island. Now, the park stands completely abandoned of human life, while the [[LesCollaborateurs pro-human loyalists]] (S.A.W.) battle against [[LaResistance the more rebellious animals]] (the Super Animal Super Resistance).

** Mystery Mode: Plays like the standard Battle Royale gamemodes but with random modifiers applied each match, such as making bullets incredibly fast or slow or replacing all weapons with magnums and hunting rifles.
** The Bwoking Dead: A 40-player zombie mode where the survivors must try to hold out long enough for an evacuation plane to arrive while avoiding being infected by [[OurZombiesAreDifferent the Cluckles]], zombified Super Chickens controlled by deceased players.

Alongside the standard Battle Royale gamemode with solo, duos or squads options, there are a handful of other gamemodes that rotate in and out, such as the class-based CaptureTheFlag mode SAW vs Rebels, a randomized Mystery Match mode, and a zombie mode... with [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombie chickens]].

In addition to the game, there's ''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSsDwH8E5MUK7YGiMUEMIj5wFCB9kBx7K Super Animal Royale Tonight]]'', a bi-monthly collection of player-submitted plays presented by [[LargeHamAnnouncer Donk Patrick and Howl Michaels]].

* ArmorPiercingAttack: Hamster ball impacts, poison darts, and Skunk Gas (both from grenades and the cloud slowly covering the island) can bypass armor completely. Melee attacks and sparrows can damage armor while dealing some health damage through it. Also, explosions will completely destroy your armor in one hit while also dealing massive health damage, if not killing you outright.
* ArtificialStupidity: While bots can be though adversaries, they also often display moronic strategies, such as trying to shoot you with a shotgun from far away, bringing a melee to a gun fight, stopping to heal in open field with you right by their side, among other things.

** The Dart Gun ignores armor and deals damage over time, but it's projectiles are very slow (making it pretty hard to land shots at distant targets) and the ammo it uses is rare.

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Bots often display pinpoint accuracy, something that makes them annoying if they have regular weapons or downright terrifying if they're holding more powerful ones like the Sniper or the Shotgun.

Super Animal World was a theme park opened up on a island somewhere out in the ocean, with it's main draw being the Super Animal: anthropomorphic animals made with a breakthrough in CRISPR genetic engineering. Humans would fly over to interact with said animals... until [[CrypticBackgroundReference "The Incident"]], where various Super Animals revolted and tried to take over the island. Now, the park stands completely abandoned of all human life, while the [[LesCollaborateurs pro-human loyalists]] (S.A.W.) battle against [[LaResistance the more rebellious animals]] (the Super Animal Super Resistance).

Development began in October 2017, and Alpha testing began by March 2018. An early access version was launched on Steam on December 12, 2018, and a free to play demo was released on January 2019, which allowed players to transfer their progress and unlocked content to the paid version of the game when purchased. The game went fully free-to-play in November 2020, with all players gaining access to cosmetics and customization whilst also offering a paid "Super Edition" that unlocks some exclusive perks.

''Super Animal Royale'' is a top down ThirdPersonShooter Battle Royale developed by Pixile Studios and published by Modus Games. Playing as a [[FunnyAnimal Super Animal]], you must fight up to 64 other players to become the last animal standing.

Humans would fly over to interact with said animals... until "The Incident", where various Super Animals revolted and tried to take over the island. Now, the park stands completely abandoned of all human life, with two main groups of Super Animals trying to take down the other. The ones most loyal to the park and humanity, S.A.W., and the rebellious animals that drove away the humans in the first place, the Super Animal Super Resistence.
