    I didn't have high expectations when I bought this game back then. I heard a few times that it was pretty good, so I thought why not. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this game. It is perfect for me. I love the music, the combat system and the story of this game. It all fits so well together. The music was surprisingly very good.

I have never heard such great music in a game. The battle system that you don't have to kill everyone is brilliant as well. The more you get into the story the deeper it gets. I didn't have high expectations of the game and was surprised in a positive way. Many people find the graphics terrible, but I love the graphics of this game. It's simple yes, but it offers a lot. It gives me a warm and nostalgic feeling which fits very well in this game. Many also find the humor unfunny, which I can't agree with at all. I have played through this game 4 times and it has always been a lot of fun. Expand

    Undertale found a way to make RPG combat entertaining. It's a charming game but it is overhyped by quite a lot. The graphics are abysmal. At times the game is just plain ugly. The music is decent but far overpraised. It sounds choppy and pixelated. I understand that's the style it just doesn't resonate with me. Most of the character's I don't want to run over with an SUV, but that's most.Undertale found a way to make RPG combat entertaining. It's a charming game but it is overhyped by quite a lot.

If given the chance I would put a pipe bomb in Alphys' mail box. Really a shame I couldn't demolish their face in the genocide route. A lot of the enjoyment comes from outside of the game. One of the view games that watching someone else play is more enjoyable than actually playing it yourself. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is simply one of the best games I have ever played. I've never really played a game where your actions affect the game AFTER you reset it. I love the option to play a genocide, pacifist, or neutral run, and just how much the actions actually affect the game. In terms of gameplay, it is very simple, funny, and fun. I have 9 hours on the game and have done a true pacifist and neutral run. I got the ending where Undyne becomes empress and I killed Papyrus. Expand

    Undertale, grafikler vb. nedenlerden oyuncuların şans vermekten kaçındığı bir oyun durumunda. Lakin şans verildiği takdirde neredeyse tüm bağımsız oyunlara karşı olan ön yargıyı yıkabilecek bir yapım.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although this game was released in 2015, it is still a game that can be played. The music is great, the characters are great, the story is beyond perfect, but if you want to know the story of this game completely, you should definitely look at its videos and investigate its mysteries. Undertale gives you what you want from a story rpg in a great way. Especially the little jokes made in the game It organizes the atmosphere, not only in a serious environment, but really throws you into all kinds of people of a city, but sometimes it gives action and reminds you that the environment you are in is not very safe. It has countless features that are not explained in a way that reminds me of it as the best game of 2015. If we sum all these up, my Undertale a score is definitely 10/10. Expand

    >Visual design of this game is absolutely unique and differs it from other games with its simplicity in graphics and gameplay.
    >The characters of this game are great,memorable and it felt very real to interact with them, because they were acting like real beings with their worries and Interests.Such characters as Sans,Papyrus,Asgore and Mettatone will always remind me of that game and great it is.
    >The bossbattles are also has a lot of unique stuff, because in this game you can kill everyone or not kill everyone at all.From every fight you can walk out without killing an opponent, and this huge variety in actions shows how developer thought through the actions of this player.But I’ve completed this game with killing some of monsters, but on the other hand I’ve spared almost every main bosses.The bossfight I consider the best in my first play trough is Mettaton EXs, for me it was at some point hilarious and hard at the same time, and that feeling was brought to me only in undertale.
    >This game can give a huge spectrum of emotion from laugh to tears, from sadness to happiness and joy, and that’s the main thing that made Undertale a very interesting and amazing journey that filled me with DETERMINATION to the end of my life.That’s clearly the best indie game I’ve ever played.

    What matters to a good game, I think, is not the graphics, but the meaning of the game. Good music certainly makes for a better game experience, but so do graphics.

    It's a great example when the game made not to get rich, but for yourself! The music got so many fan remakes and remixes + thousands of fan games!

    Undertale is absolutely mind boggling if you can find some way to experience the game completely blind. I personally did not get the luxury of that, however even I have found some enjoyment in this game despite partially knowing what I was getting into. Despite all of the memes, it is genuinely good and cheap, if you're a gamer and haven't played this, you're doing something wrong.Undertale is absolutely mind boggling if you can find some way to experience the game completely blind.

    Despite being a single player game, the difficulty is in the right place for most people to get into it and not feel frustrated but also not easy to the point you lose interest. Even if you are a hardcore gamer, you will still have to focus on avoiding attacks.

    The story is completely unique and very little can even compare to it's design. I will not spoil how it works, but almost everyone can find some sort of meaning to Undertale's story.

    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.

    I bought this game after hearing some of the murmurs of its success back in 2015, and I took a chance and picked it up. Boy, did I have absolutely no idea what I was getting into. This is a 2D “bullet-hell” RPG created by one talented individual, Toby Fox. First off, the soundtrack is sheer perfection in this game. The seamless blend of multiple themes into single songs, the sweeping synths and hilarious oddities, Toby Fox has absolutely nailed the world-building music that still tears across the internet to this day. These characters immediately grab your attention never let go. The story is well-crafted, introspective, and one of the most memorable I have ever played. The combat is fun and challenging, and while it’s not my favorite, it gets the job done.

    What I can’t talk about here is what you need to experience for yourself, which is basically everything else. A must-play gem.

    Final Score: 9.5/10

    This is my spoiler-free review of the Pacifist Route.

    This game isn't even a game to me. It utilizes the medium so well that it feels more like a life experience more than pixels on the screen. The friendships you'll make and the lessons you'll learn last even after playing. The puzzles and bullet-hell aspects are used as more of narrative objects than objects to slow you down, and I understand why people may dislike this but I personally LOVED it. Toby Fox continues to use these commonly found aspects of video games and twist them on their heads- to tell a captivating story that will leave players in tears. The characters are amazing and lovable; going through the pacifist route of the game it feels like you're actually growing with them- like you, the player, is receiving character development as well as the characters. The art and visual aspects are simple for the most part: it's in a nostalgic 8-bit kind of style; but in my opinion this ironically adds so much life into the game. The simple style breathes life into the characters and environments akin to the old RPGs like the Mother series. Of course, there's some parts which have amazing art and animation that completely sneak up on you, especially in the key moments and fights, that add to the sincerity of these events. Temmie Chang does a brilliant job in conveying the game's emotion and character through the art and animation. My favorite part of this experience has to be the music because oh my freaking gosh THE MUSIC. It doesn't take any sort of musical genius to know that the soundtrack is the main storytelling device of this game. It's complexity and use of leitmotifs give the game so much character through giving each character their own themes, for giving crucial moments of the game heart-wrenching music that will leave an impression on your mind after playing. The music is so genius that even the most simple background tracks, or even the lack of music at all, fascinatingly weaves the story as well, which is something not a lot of games can accomplish. In conclusion: please for the love of God, buy this game. This game changed the way I look at life and the people in my life, while also helping me discover my passion of video game creation. I'm not going to try to influence the exact route you take, but please, choose the right one.

    undertale es en general una obra maestra y todo el mundo deberia aunque sea probarlo una vez.

    Undertale is a story, quite a unique one at that. However, it's also one of these games that you just HAVE to play to its end, otherwise you're just not going to get "it".

However, it's also one of these games that you just HAVE to play to its end, otherwise you're just not going to get "it". "It" being the whole vision behind this game, the whole essence of it. Some people may mistakenly assume this game is a weird spin on the classic RPG: where you kill mobs in order to get stats in order to kill stronger mobs until you can kick the BBG's butt, and think Undertale simply flips the script around "just because". This isn't the case: the game is about realizing that making friends is much easier than one could think, and needless violence never leads to good things. One can make friends and tie bonds in the most unexpected way, simply through an act of kindness or through a smile and pat on the back, it's not just "subverting expectations", or "relying on guilt". Undertale is an entire story, that should be savoured and enjoyed, and is simply not "overrated" or "overhyped". You MUST get to the end, and possibly play through the True Pacifist to experience some of the most clever and touching moments in the game, together with the best tracks in the game. Is it cliché at times? Sure. Some jokes are just straight up corny and sometimes the humor is a bit out there, but it's absolutely worth it. This was easily the most discussed and influential game of the last decade, and it just deserves it all. This game is an act of love from Toby Fox, and if there are some games I absolutely think one MUST play at least once in their lives, Undertale is one of them. Expand

I was very touched, he made a big sacrifice about Flowey and broke the barrier. All my friends (toriel, sans, undyne etc.) went through the barrier with me and came to earth because we reached the good end. The story of the game was fought between humans and monsters, in this war, people were condemning monsters to the underground and putting a barrier, and to break this barrier, he needed 7 human souls. The king of monsters asgore had 6 human souls and we fell into that underground. So this meant that if Asgore killed me, he would have 7 human souls. but things didn't go that way at all, we were able to go to the earth together because we were completely fine.

    . 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

Now, the game is actually a horror game despite its lighthearted soundtrack, realistic characters, and fun humor, keep in mind that some elements of horror are being worked into mind as it is more involved with the gameplay and exploration of the world you will immerse into. One thing I really appreciate about the game was its gameplay is especially focused on your morality, merely focused as a test to show you when you are not chained by human laws since you're going into a land of monsters, further testing your remorse and sympathy towards others in your perspective. That's what makes the game so special. Undertale is a work of art and a great example to show that games do not need high budgets or extravagant graphics to be a good game. Expand

    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.
