    Please, let your kids play Deltarune. It will teach them important things, and I know this from experience. You see, my daughter used to have... issues. She was very homophobic, and would always say stuff like "I absolutely hate the LGBTQ agenda! They keep harassing us!" and I would always have to try to explain how there is no issue with them, but she would always deny it. She also saidPlease, let your kids play Deltarune.

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.

    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!

    I love Deltarune chapter one and this, this was a TREAT. For all of you Undertale fans, you will adore this chapter. It adds Toby's masterful art of music and throws it into an amazing experience. Its lore is very in-depth but its gameplay is super simple but hard to master. Deltarune chapter 2 was greatness.

    Never even finished the game, I got too bored. This is way too overrated. I only gave this game an 8 because it's free. Chapter 1 is ten times better than this.

Simple but fun gameplay, a bad-ass soundtrack, outstanding characters, colors that make the game seem alive, the pixel art is just beatiful, It is a complete evolution of chapter 1, with characters like Susie and Birdley being more exploited.

    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. My final score is a perfect 10/10.    … Expand

    I think Chapter 2 is a bit better than the first chapter. The music is fantastic almost as good as in Undertale. I liked the bosses very much. The story picks up speed and it becomes more exciting. It introduces puzzle mechanics that are fun. The world also looks fantastic and the music intensifies the atmosphere. I am very excited about the next chapter.

    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.

    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

    To be honest, the second chapter didn't go up to my expectation and compared to the first one, there was no reason for queen, unlike Lancers dad which I had incentive to fight because I liked lancer himself, this just felt a little unnecessary and kind of repeated the first chapter, and was kind of too easy for me... not a bad game by any means but as of chapter 2 I like this game, but ITo be honest, the second chapter didn't go up to my expectation and compared to the first one, there was no reason for queen, unlike Lancers dad which I had incentive to fight because I liked lancer himself, this just felt a little unnecessary and kind of repeated the first chapter, and was kind of too easy for me... not a bad game by any means but as of chapter 2 I like this game, but I think the repetition can be better, oh and the story in between chapters is just amazing...… Expand

    Not charging for this game is a real [[BIG SHOT]] move on Toby's part.

    Honestly I would have paid [[$4.99]] or more for this [once in a lifetime bargain]

    Now go play it, you little [sponge].

    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.
