After a longer, silent development phase, the game was released on 24 October 2011 for Microsoft Windows. However, Vlambeer lacked the time to develop the game before the release of Serious Sam 3: BFE, which led to them mainly working on the game in their hotel room, the plane back to the Netherlands, and at home with, as Rami Ismail stated, «a lot of jetlag».

It was made as part of the Serious Sam indie series to build up anticipation to Serious Sam 3: BFE. Serious Sam: The Random Encounter was developed from an early sketch Vlambeer made for a game that was set to become a «JRPG-alike» title. Additionally, the action RPG element adds to the combat's turns, where, while enemies are coming nearer, the player may move their characters, as a group, up and down in order to reach out of the aiming boundaries, previously set in the turn's preparation. During gameplay, the team grows from one to three persons, all of them having a turn each, giving the player more ability to take down incoming enemies. The gun combat is the game's JRPG part, where the player may switch weapons and shoot the weapon selected, choosing a direction, radius, or position to shoot at, as well as using one of the previously gathered items.

These mob waves consist of ridiculously high amounts of enemies of all kinds, where the player is given the task to gun these down. During the open world sequences, the player may roam around freely, but can eventually hit on a randomized mob wave of enemies. Serious Sam: The Random Encounter plays a mixture of an action role-playing game and a Japanese role-playing game.
