    Nos encontramos con una historia que es lo de menos lo que importa son los personajes tan carismáticos que tiene el título y nos acompañan en nuestra aventura, puede parecer un juego que te hace sentir solo en ciertos momentos pero en otros es pura comedia lo que le envuelve.

    El combate es por turnos al estilo retro con varias opciones de combate o intentar salvarte de los conflictos sin ningún tipo de violencia.

    La Banda sonora es bestial y probablemente sea de lo mejor de este título no tiene desperdicio.

    Como cosas negativas que en ningún juego pueden fallar... Diría que poca cosa quizás el excesivo minimalismo para mi gusto en ciertas zonas que hacen el juego bastante feo a la vista.

    En conclusión un juego cortito rejugable aunque yo personalmente no creo que lo haga y Bastante diferente a lo que hay hoy en día totalmente recomendado a los gamers curiosos.

    The only grotesque aspects of Undertale is the story and the characters, everything else is pretty bland in my opinion. there are many other games that deserve the clout Undertale enjoys, but it still is a good game, not for every gamer though.

    To be honest, there are no words high enough to praise Undertale.

    It breakes the trope of many RPGs that violence is the only way out. It's not. Violence is the worst possible way to interact with your surroundings, you think you are gaining LOVE that way, but you are not gaining Love. Making friends is far more important and if you do not know that, just buy this game and learn your lesson.

    Maybe the best RPG ever.
    With it's on humour and the lovely character in combination with a great story you have to play this game. The minimalistic graphic makes the game even more attractive with the great music.
    You can play through it so many times and it won't get boring.

    Main review: This game is a masterpiece, some people bash on it for the pixelated graphics, but I honestly love them. The gameplay is also amazing, the fights blend in perfectly with the story, can be funny, or can reveal lore about characters, and they're fun as hell. Characters: this is the best part of the game, every character is can be either charming, funny, or down to earth, there some characters that are all 3 of these (sans, asriel), this game has some of the best if not the best characters in gaming history. Story: the main goal of the game is simple: get out of the wacky world known as the underground. But the story gets way more complicated as you go, you learn about the past of the monsters, their intentions, and you learn about tragedies. Something else is that there is 3 main paths, the neutral, pacifist, and genocide. If you finish all 3 paths, you will know just about everything in the game. I was going to give it an 8 because of the community, but I refrained because that's not the developer's fault.

    Aging: Generally, this game aged well, but the thing is it's not replayable when you finish every path, but I understand this game was a 1-time experience. Finally, the sequel, eh, not as good, but ok.

The story is pretty amazing it does hit you a lot of times and you basically chose your path which is pretty neat, and the soundtrack supports the entire game, to it’s battle themes and world themes the soundtrack is a masterpiece. Undertale is a once in a time opportunity, because it’s a very unique game that pulls you in with its narrative and new sort of gameplay and of course the damn soundtrack .

    Undertale is a very special game, in so many ways.

    When my little brother told me about this game, I'll admit I was a bit skeptical about the premise at first. A gamer's first instinct is to defeat anybody threatening them in a game, after all. (Like real life, lol.)

    But I watched a Let's Play on YouTube and eventually played it, and I gotta say:
    This game holds the honor of being the first game to ever make me cry.
    Not to mention that it's a fantastic game that is worthy of the all the accolades it gets by fans, critics and other game companies.
    "Why?" You may ask.
    Well, let's break down every aspect of the game, shall we?

    Plot And Storyline
    This game has a deceptively simple plot and two basic paths that connect it.
    You play a child who has fallen into a deep underground cave that is full of monsters, from talking dogs and goatlike monsters to skeletons, spiders, ghosts and other quirky denizens of the caverns.
    Do you decide to befriend them, and help them out on the Pacifist run? Or do you slaughter all of them in the Genocide route, and lay waste to all your supposed adversaries?
    The choice is yours, but the consequences could be dire.
    This premise is actually clever, with both heartwarming and heartbreaking plot points and a wonderful, zany cast of characters to get to know.

    Gameplay
    Though a simple turn-based RPG, it has a surprisingly deep gameplay style.
    Sure, you can kill everything standing in your way, but you have the choice to go through the game without killing anyone, instead befriending the lovable characters.

    Graphics
    This pixelart game may be done in styles similar to both 8-bit and 16-bit games, but both the environment and characters inhabiting it are delightfully created and exude their varied personalities.

    Sound Design
    Toby Fox happened to create a game with a wonderful soundtrack. From the epic tracks like "Spear Of Justice", "ASGORE" and this games rendition of Toby Fox's "Megalovania", to the humorous "Bonetrousle" and to the heartbreaking song "Undertale", this game has a soundtrack that is hard to top.

    In Short
    This game has made me laugh, get shocked, and even holds the honor of being the first game to ever make me cry.
    It has wonderful, quirky and lovable characters like Sans and Papyrus, Asgore and Toriel and many others that have me praise this game and Toby Fox himself.

    My Rating
    Now like most game reviewers, I have a rating system from 1 to 10.
    However, that similarity is where it ends.
    Unlike other game reviewers, I have a rating system that's backwards.
    That means that 1 is actually the best, while 10 is really the worst.
    It's kinda like racing: You want to finish first, but don't want to finish last.

    Final Thoughts
    This game is a wonderful, beautiful game that has many secrets and surprises in store, and is jam-packed with emotion.
    From the cast of characters to the music and everything else, this game is the definition of empathy and storytelling for PC, PS4, XBONE and Switch.
    Rating: 1/10 (1 being the best.)

Undertale is more than a typical JRPG game. Even though, its not only an "JRPG". It has "Puzzle, Adventure, Rpg, JRPG, Action" and more genres on it. So; from ARK players to GTA V players, every body can find something good on it. It has like 7-8-9 gameplay hours minimum. Think now; you are playing a in 10 hour finishing game, and there is more than "6" boss fights. Game never repeats it self, so boss fights nevers bores you because of that. What more is you can thing 10 hours is a short gameplay time for an RPG game, but epic story makes you full. And there is like 7, or 8 different endings and that makes the gameplay time about 70 hours. Undertale will make you cry, Undertale will make you laugh. I maded a stupid thing, and played this game in this summer. I was kinda bored and got awayed from the games, and camed back like one year ago. I was dont knowing why I passed away for a little, but Undertale reminded me why: Because i was bored of seeing the same things again and again. With undertale, i reminded how its feels like to play an "Art", like Half-life. It has a lowerprice on steam. So you should get it now and play. You will not lose a thing.

    So; is there nothing bad about this game? Yes there is:

    • Like i said, it has so many different genres on it, but if you dont like even one of them, you can get bored because every single genre has a big part in the game. This is the disadvantage of having this much genre in one game. I had that problem in puzzles, i dont like and cant do puzzles even in games so that little puzzles tooked a little bit more time.

    • Game sometimes gets pyscho. Exactly "Flowey". When you saw flowey boss fight(good ending, after last boss fight-boss fight) after that lovely world; trust me, you can scare a little bit.

    Thats my thoughts about "Undertale". I hope it could help you..

    . Contradiction between themes in game. On one hand, the game wants to work on difficult themes and choices like death, treason, fear; but uses cute and childish characters. The themes doesn't match witch the characters. For example, how is possible that a child (protagonist) manages to kill huge monsters.
    . Unfortunately, it's a text-only game. If voice acting was in game for the characters, it would be awesome.
    . Plot. There are many endings to the game and among them 3 great paths (Pacifist, neutral and genocidal). You will only understand the plot and magnitude of the choices, if you complete the game in the 3 paths. But that requires to complete the game 3x from the beginning. And to get such endings you will have to seek help on the internet (tutorials).
    . The game is too short. You can finish in 2 hours in speed run

Jednak po ukończeniu Undertale (do czego zachęcili mnie moi znajomi) udowodnino mi, że grafika w grach tak naprawdę się nie liczy.

    It's hard to give something a 10/10. To me, a 10/10 would mean you've had an experience that's nothing short of amazing, and the result of that experience lingers on for years after it's happened. To me that's Undertale. It's one of the very few games that has shaped my life in more ways than I ever could've thought before playing it, and calling it a masterpiece is an understatement.It's hard to give something a 10/10.

    There are no objectively perfect games that absolutely everyone will love, there are always at least some things that some people will nitpick about, and that's ok. But to me, Undertale as a game is something truly special, and there's nothing I don't like about it. The characters, the art, the music, the easy-to-learn-hard-to-master gameplay, the story, the humor, all of it is perfect to someone like myself.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every character is special in undertake there not gimmicky they all can bounce off each other whether it's sans making jokes at papyrus expense whether it's papyrus wanting to be in the royal guard and undyne wanting to keep him out of harms way and when the characters die it feels real very early have I come close to crying in a video game but I'm not going to act like this game is better then it is the graphics are good at best it could probably be run on a toaster with enough optimization and tweaking if they wanted to but this game is amazing that soundtrack though it complls you into the current situation after you always feel terrible after you kill someone in undertale even if there not a main character in my gaming experience never have I ever felt genuinely like trash when I kill a little frog In a video game you can tell each character even side characters has a genuine life and freinds and a personality there is never a flat. Character that doesent have some sortve belief you can explain most of the characters personalitys in a couple of seconds because of how simple the characters are even more advanced characters can be explained easily in a couple of seconds besides chara which is bassicly the player your the one who is making these decisions your the one controlling the character making these decisions it's almost as if every life you take your character is doing against there will and they provide a reason for you respawning known as resetting little things like that gives games like undertale more life and its hardware compatibility is insane that's what I meant when I said you could run undertale on a toaster But one problem with the game is the run time the run time of this game is almost tragic with being able to complete all routes of the game in less then 15 hours while taking my time and I'd say 2 hours of that was from fighting sans and that leads to another pro the boss fights are acctually hard and aren't easy you feel accomplished once you beat the genocide route but somehow seemlessly they make it more rewarding to complete the pacifist route even though that's the easiest version of the game there's no hard or easy mode it's just an adventure and I know everyone is so tired of the "it's an immersive adventure" type of phrase but it's the truth the graphics aren't bad acctually because of the art style it meshes well with the world and makes it infinitely more enjoyable for me At the end of the day this game will not knock anyone's socks off but it's so great to just relax of course you will never be able to relax when your in a boss fight but just sit down with your keyboard and mouse and enjoy the ride this game set up so many things to worry about I just gave up on keeping track I just decided you know what Toby fox? Take me where you want to go because attempting to keep track of all the potential interactions and scenarios is a idiotic move your meant to just sit there and enjoy tha dang ride because there are so many different things I have not touched the surface of the surface of details in this game in the average review but I hope I painted a picture for how amazing a creation Toby fox made Expand

    2015 was an interesting year. So many games came out but this one was standing out. UNDERTALE was the Game of the Year, for me personally. The music, the graphics, the deep story in both POVs. This game right here changed so many lives, including myself.

    Toby Fox made a great game and some people may disagree with me on this one but UNDERTALE is one of the most iconic games of all time.

    I expected to be bored, but the clamouring of my teenage daughter to finally FINALLY play this thing grew incessantly hard to ignore. So I caved--and I'm glad I did. The charm and stunning soundtrack threw me back to my own teens, when I played and loved nerdy-but-cool JRPGs like Chrono Trigger (of which this reminded me, not least because of the catchy tunes). That said, this game felt thoroughly unique with its mixture of catchy writing, endearing charm, soulful humanity and sheer backasswardness. At times disheartened by the bullet-hellish challenges too frustrating for my old-man reflexes, I was nevertheless filled with DETERMINATION and managed to rediscover that home is where the heart is.

    Indeed a masterpiece. A sad, emotional story with somewhat creepy and disturbing secrets that reveal lore part by part, which still has many questions. I only gave it a 9 because of the unoriginality with soundfonts, which some were taken from Earthbound. I'll let you play it, just don't learn more about the game right now to not get spoiled.

    With multiple endings based on how you choose to play out your run, set pieces that can play out very differently based on your actions and so many incredible moments that we’d love to share but daren’t do so for risk of spoiling anything, Undertale is easily one of the indie standouts of last year.

    Through a combination of often relaxed but sometimes tense gameplay, a dreamy atmosphere, and genuine characters that feel like they’re actually alive and all living together in this isolated society of longing, Undertale transcends its medium and becomes a genuinely moving experience I would recommend to anyone who is open to a sometimes sorrowful, sometimes hilarious, always bizarre and engaging emotional journey.
