    Trás os elementos mais gostados de Undertale em uma mistura divertida, bem escrita, com personagens bons, jogabilidade dinâmica, cômico e várias outras qualidades, Toby Fox acertando em cheio como sempre

    Toby fox new game has been released, after Undertale, this game tries the first formula adding a new breath into the gameplay, more personality and stuff, the chapter 1 seems a little short, but it was good seeing recognizable faces, the gameplay is ok, the graphics are good, the music is very good.

    Its a good game. But is too short, the gameplay just became fun in the final boss, when you can control Kris, Susie and Ralsei, poor characters exploit and the humor is boring. On the other hand hand, it has a kick-ass OST, and, honestly, this is my favourite of all toby fox's games, The pixel art is beautifull and there characters like Lancer, that are FUN. nothing else, just fun.

    This was boring.
    You just go in a straight line, the story is like any kids cartoon for man-children, the action has no depth.
    This barely counts as an "RPG".

    Those who liked Undertale will also like Deltarune. The battle system has been reworked and improved. Probably the biggest difference is that this time there are more characters in the fight. Susie and Ralsei will help you. So there are more cool mechanics in the fight. The music is also wonderful again. The characters are also very good again, as well as the humor. Overall, it's a good chapter

    Jogo inspirado em undertale, mas com novo sistema de combate, um novo universo conectado com undertale que ninguém sabe bem como ainda, personagens cativantes desde os aliados até os vilões e uma surpresinha pra quem gosta de desafio. 10/10

    Although they share elements, Deltarune is a different game from Undertale. It is truly a new experience worth playing through.

    The only bad point of it is being a demo version : it's too short (and for a demo version, it's really long).
    So 9/10.

    A so-so game that rides off of the immense success of its predecessor. The new battle mechanic doesn't really succeed - for one thing, battles are very easy; for another, it is obvious what Actions will lead to a successful 'Spare' or 'Pacify'.

The new battle mechanic doesn't really succeed - for one thing, battles are very easy; for another, it is obvious what Actions will lead to a successful 'Spare' or 'Pacify'. This is unlike Undertale, where routine battles WERE legitimately challenging, and required thinking and puzzle-solving to successfully Spare (and achieve 'Yellow Names'). The setting in Deltarune Ch 1 is also generally not memorable, unlike Undertale's collection of more memorable (and better looking) locations.

    What redeems Deltarune is a few factors: Firstly, Lancer is generally an excellent character, whose humour lands a lot of the time. Suzie is also a reasonably solid character. Secondly, there are enough memorable songs (which was one of the key parts of Undertale's atmosphere and storytelling). Field of Hopes and Dreams is the most obvious banger, but the shop theme and the final castle theme are also very good. Finally, the 'secret' boss fight is an excellent challenge that comes with its own fantastic music and an interesting character. This fight makes up for a lot of the disappointments from the other fights in the game.

    All that being said, the redeeming qualities made this game worthwhile (at least for me). Just don't go into it expecting anything close to Undertale.    … Expand

    If you thought Undertale was as good as it could get then you're in for a treat.
    Deltarune introduces characters that are not perfect but still likeable and fun, a banger soundtrack, a reworked version of Undertale's combat system, and so on.
    The game is fun and I enjoyed every bit of it.

    Deltarune huh?
    Toby Fox tried something different this time. I can swear that this guy brought a different breath to the rpg genre. So if he's trying something, he has a know. The battle system of this game is a much improved version of the first game. I liked the interface in the same way. Very sedate and enjoyable. Everything you feel the absence of in the first game seems to exist in    Deltarune huh?

    The characters are not as epic as in the first game, I cannot say that I care about them. Alphys and Rasiel are exceptions, I love them. The duration of the game is extremely short. If only it came out as one long game, not as an episode ....

This game is a bit emotional, much funny, the puzzle are good, characters are different, and we are teams in this game, but what I don`t like about this game is this is a short game, you can finish it 2/3 times in a day. but a good game that i like this too... I will gives this game 9 cause UnderTale is better. We better wait for the Chapter 2... Thank you again Toby Fox.    … Expand

    The game is seriously beautiful, I recommend it to everyone, but first, please play Undertale because the story is very connected, it is already Undertale's second game. The battle screen is better than Undertale.

    Deltarune is harder than Undertale which makes sense since Deltarune is meant for people that have finished Undertale. Deltarune lasts about 2 to 3 hours which is ok for a demo like game. It is nice seeing how the NPCs for Undertale are doing like Asgore. If you have played Undertale i recommend Deltarune but if you haven't play Undertale first.

    While Undertale is great both as a comedy and a tragedy, Deltarune is good for some laughs but – so far – doesn’t move players otherwise. [13/2018, p.48]

    It may not be the near-perfect masterpiece I consider Undertale to be, but it successfully holds onto much of what made the first game great while making adjustments and finding its own place as well.
