    It only takes a few hours to complete Deltarune Chapter 2, barring those who wish to go back and play the different routes. The quality of the experience matches that of a full-price game, and it makes the wait for the next chapters even harder. Deltarune Chapter 2 has improved upon the foundation laid down by the original game, proving that this world's characters and setting have what it takes to match those of Undertale. There are still five more chapters of Deltarune to go and it remains to be seen whether it can truly step out from Undertale's shadow, but Deltarune Chapter 2 feels like a game that's more confidant in its direction, and more willing to let players shape the fate of its characters.

    Some minor but interesting experiments introduced in Chapter 2 are a welcome breath of fresh air and along with excellent writing make the game worth finishing twice. However, it’s hard to overlook the fact that Deltarune was built on the same, rather simple blueprint as Undertale and the formula might soon need a deeper makeover. That’s a worry for the future though. Today I urge you to download the game and experience another portion of Toby Fox’s great sense of humor. [12/2021, p.35]

    DELTARUNE is a very interesting game. It has the same feeling as UNDERTALE but the creator himself stated that this is a different universe.DELTARUNE is a very interesting game. It has the same feeling as UNDERTALE but the creator himself stated that this is a different universe.

    The music, the characters, the writing, the deep story that one day, it'll be connected. I've played both chapters and it was really damn good!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This chapter takes what made the first chapter great and expands on it, making an experience that is just as good if not BETTER than chapter 1. This chapter adds in a new mechanic where if you spare enemies they will appear in the Castel town, it provides an incentive to spare the enemies which is nice. Speaking of Castel town, it's a pretty good hub. It has a lot to do and it's a good way to interact with characters and replay bosses with some added challenge, it also has the weapon shop from chapter 1 and it has a lot of funny scenes in it. Not that much to say about Castel Town, just a pretty neat addition. The music isn't as good as chapter 1's soundtrack, it's not bad and there are some memorable tracks but it's pretty forgettable tbh. The gameplay is pretty much unchanged from the first chapter, enemies are fun to fight but at one point you temporarily get Noelle on your team making it feel like a natural shift in gameplay. The chapter's dark world, like the first chapter's, is pretty good, it's going for an internet theme with some references to it, some of the references are good but others feel a bit eye-rolling, Queen is a funny character but her schtick of making internet references and using internet slang in every scene she's in get's old in the late game. I also think that the cutscenes go far too long, I wish there was a skip cutscene feature so you don't have to rewatch cut scenes on new playthroughs. Aside from those gripes, this is a cool dark world, the bosses in it are really fun and like the first chapter, they have a variety of attacks and funny dialogue. Some of these bosses actually use the act mechanic as a way to defeat them which makes the fights even more interesting than Chapter 1's fights. The characters here are also very charming and funny, with great personalities and plenty of funny moments. The puzzles are another thing that chapter 2 does better than chapter 1, the puzzles here are interesting and engaging and none of them feel unfair. Now let's talk about this chapter's storyline, now Berdly and Noelle are in the dark world with us, and like I said Noelle is our partner at one point in the chapter. Chapter 1 had only one character arc and that was Susie's, however, chapter 2 somehow manages to juggle two character arcs, Berdly and Noelle. Both of their character arcs are incredibly interesting and well developed. I'll cover Noelle's arc first, throughout the whole game Queen is hunting down Noelle and making trying to make her a peon, thinking it would make Noelle happy. Noelle spends most of the chapter hiding from Queen, until the end of the chapter when she stands up for herself, it's a great moment and some excellent character development for her, after spending most of the chapter hiding her emotions she then gains the courage to finale stand up to Queen, the chapter handled her arc masterfully. Next, let's talk about Berdly, I like how chapter 2 subverts the whole cliche of the smart guy being bullied, and instead, Berdly makes fun of Susie and Kris for their low grades. Anyways, Berdly acts the way he does because he thinks that being smart gives him superiority, that he should earn love from his family, and he felt special when people cheered for him at that spelling bee, but at the end of the game he learns that smarts aren't everything, it's a really relatable conflict that I'm sure some people face. The chapter avoids the whole "smart guy is the punching bag" trope in favor of making something more interesting. Like Susie's arc in chapter 1, Chapter 2 somehow manages to balance two different character arcs and makes them BOTH work, which is an impressive accomplishment. Chapter 2 while not perfect is a solid follow-up to chapter 1, I am pretty excited for future chapters of the game, as the story continues. Expand
