    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Notice that this will be a somewhat long and thorough review. Because I have a lot to say about both Chapters of this game. Some spoilers ahead.

    I just finished my first playthrough of this, going for a sort of 'pacifist' route. Although I have not yet tried to find all the secrets in the game, I feel like my experience of beating the game/'chapter' qualifies me to write a review.

    Some context first. I've beaten Deltarune Chapter 1 last year, including the secret boss, as well as all of the routes in Undertale in the past. I installed Deltarune Chapter 2 and didn't bother to use my Chapter 1 save, which I think I still have stored somewhere. I was told that it isn't necessary to have beaten Chapter 1 or have a save, so I skipped a re-play of Chapter 1 and went straight to Chapter 2. I don't know if Chapter 1 items and money carry over to Chapter 2 and make things easier, but I didn't seem to need them.

    I noticed that the naming screen for Chapter 2 was the same as the one from Undertale. Rather than Deltarune Chapter 1's 'character creation' menu, which basically just trolls and wastes time of the player for the sake of some kind of plot element from Undertale. This change was welcome.

    The opening of Chapter 2 was ok enough. Although it seems to hand-wave away what happened at the end of Chapter 1. I get that maybe this dreamy sequence was supposed to seem slightly horrifying with the 'NOOOOooo!' scream by Toriel, but I found it rather funny. It gets turned into Kris having left a knife in a pie that Toriel had baked or something, which is a 'whatever' moment.

    Anyway, after this the game is almost exactly the same as Chap. 1 until arriving at school again, which is understandable. Kris falls asleep throughout most of class and some other characters comment that he resembles a corpse. There is clearly something going on here that the author is hinting at, but even by the end of Chapter 2 it hasn't yet been very well explained. It's plot fodder for the next Chapter at any rate.

    Something I'd like to point out that is a noticeable graphical difference from the old Chapter 1 release is that Susie's sprites seem to be somewhat changed, most noticeably her facial expressions. She appears more fierce in Chapter 2. This isn't a bad thing. I remember Susie's art looking slightly 'better' in Chapter 1, though.

    Well, we get to the 'Dark World' and the game turns noticeably longer than Chapter 1. Regarding the first Chapter, disregarding the optional secret boss which is a significant grind, I beat that chapter in three hours or so. Chapter 2 took about eight hours to win, including about an hour of mostly optional dialogue at the end. There were a LOT more cutscenes in Chapter 2 than 1. Although most cutscenes were fine, there were some I found myself quickly skimming through the dialogue as fast as possible to get through. It was becoming tedious to read characters prattling on about dreamy nonsense that I find hard to care about and doesn't seem to matter much even in-universe.

    Here we come to what I consider one of the major problems of both Chapters 1 and 2 of Deltarune compared to Undertale, and which seems to have gotten significantly worse in Chapter 2. Deltarune over-does the dreamy nonsense. There is little suspension of disbelief, the game shoves it in your face that this is something like a dream or nightmare. Even the Hometown feels like a layer of empty abstraction on top of the Undertale universe. Of course, it literally is an alternate universe. Adding these dreamy 'Dark World' sequences on top of that feels too meaningless. It feels like the author was trying too hard to be meta or philosophical or such.

    What gameplay there was in the Dark World between the high amount of cutscenes was ok. I only bought some items and never had to grind. Sometimes I had to reload saves a few times during the harder fights, but the gameplay was smooth enough and had almost no frustrating moments. The game's puzzles were forgettable. Some puzzles were very easy and at any rate I never got stuck on any of them for long, which I suppose is a good thing.

    The game turned into a quasi-1990s style fighting game at the last boss. It feels like the game's author was trolling players with this.

    Overall I mostly liked the art style and the music of the Dark World, and the computerized theme. This theme had a nice weirdness about it, pleasantly strange but not too off-putting.

    I encountered zero technical issues with crashes or bugs in the game, so that's another plus in the game's favor.

    Chapter 2 overall, is great. It's pretty much double the length of Chapter 1.

    Although, it feels a bit less polished than Chapter 1, and the places you visit/enemies you fight are less memorable than in Chapter 1. ACTs could also be improved, as for the most part, they felt pretty one dimensional and just had you constantly using the same one until you could spare the enemy.

    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

    Deltarune’s 2nd chapter isn’t awfully long, but it is awfully good. Toby Fox is able to make characters which are actually engaging - I am genuinely invested in Susie, Ralsei, the Queen and Noelle. This may not come off as such a large compliment, but with many games and media, they fall into the shadow of their predecessor, but Deltarune is different - it’s distinct from Undertale.

This may not come off as such a large compliment, but with many games and media, they fall into the shadow of their predecessor, but Deltarune is different - it’s distinct from Undertale. Also I’ll just mention that Queen is probably one of the funniest video game characters I’ve ever seen. The music in chapter 2 is definitely an upgrade from chapter 1, and definitely has both upbeat and mellow production which I’ve always attributed to Fox’s style. The characters are layered as well, even that one guy, Berghby or whatever, had interesting character traits and progression. The graphics are also definitely an upgrade from Undertale - much more emotive and wacky. The story itself can feel dragged, but it is engaging and hooks you in to play from start to finish in one sitting. The “Snowgrave”, as fans have dubbed it, route is also very interesting. Unlike the genocide route in Undertale, it makes YOU, the player feel more guilty for your actions, which in my eyes is much more attractive. If I were to critique Deltarune, it would be its puzzles. They are annoying. No one cares about 3 mouse rooms, and I understand they’re meant to be annoying (as Toby comically described them as annoying mouse rooms), but that doesn’t take away from the fact that they are annoying. Other puzzles had the same issue. Overall, a great game, but the puzzles being too long and irritating takes away from the quality. 8/10.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played around 7 hours of both chapters combined and this is AMAZING. I don't know why SOME people hate this game, the story of the second chapter is... really different compared to the first chapter. It's also pretty easy to abort the Snowgrave Route (like not using Snowgrave on Berdly) and it combines being serious with COMEDY in a great way. GIGA Queen's boss fight is pretty easy (you can deal damage while being attacked due to the fight being a boxing match) and it brings in a really dark plot element. I like dark plot elements. The Roaring, which I presume will happen in chapter 7, is that plot element. Now I'll go deeper into the review.

    The music, story and gameplay is probably some of the best and most unique in all of video game history. I know, being only 7 hours into Deltarune isn't much, but it's actually up to the end of Chapter 2. Chapter 1 was an interesting chapter, but it's nothing compared to chapter 2.

She also said that she would date girls, if only it didn't have "Mega Gay Energy." Eventually however, she played Deltarune, and after completing Chapter 2, she came downstairs to talk with me. She told me that after playing Deltarune, she realized that LGBTQ people aren't as bad as she thought. I was so proud of her, and that wasn't it. She even came out as lesbian, and I was even more happy. I googled what caused this sudden realization, and apparently there are two characters in the game named Noel and Suzy, who like each other but haven't confessed. So, if your child is homophobic, please, tell them about Noel and Suzy. If any homophobes even try to sue this game, I will come to their house. I appreciate what our video games are doing in this day.

    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]

    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.
