    With influences from many classic games, Undertale has managed to keep the same systems as the classics, but put its own spin on them.

    un gioco, che pur passati anni, ha un fascino così splendente e intelligente che si dovrebbero usare aggettivi che di solito si usano nella musica. Una perla secondo me essenziale per un qualsiasi videogiocatore. alcune volte pure un videogioco ci deve ricordare che, noi umani possiamo aiutare tutto e tutti a prescindere da chi è cosa è e in cosa crede.

    I bought this game in 2017. I thought I would have a lot of fun, but at that time I wasn't that much of a game addict and I didn't know that the game ended with a good ending, all I had to do was kill all the monsters that challenged me, but now when I started again in 2020, I really played with my characteristics and finished well.

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.
    I can say that the game impressed me a lot, it is the best of its kind, even    … Expand

    Undertale is a masterpiece that makes the game of bullet hell fun without making it too difficult. With good storytelling, unique music and fun characters, it's possible to feel every emotion in this game. I rarely finish a game more than once, but I can't remember how many times I've finished Undertale

    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

    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.    … Expand

    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.

Every facet of "Undertale" is shrouded in surprise, making it an experience like no other. The level of freedom bestowed upon players is exceptional, enabling actions and choices rarely seen in other games.

    Bringing together elements of fun, cuteness, and even moments of poignant sadness, "Undertale" keeps you on your toes. The sheer number of unforeseen twists and turns caught me off guard, crafting an immersive journey that defies conventional norms. The details? You'll have to uncover them yourself.

    For all its oddity and innovation, there's one aspect that might be a matter of personal taste – the design of the main character you control. While I would have tweaked it to align more with my preferences, that's the beauty of subjectivity in art. It's all about individual perception.

    In the end, "Undertale" earned my affection with its unorthodox charm and unpredictability. It's a title that stands in a league of its own, and if you're up for an unforgettable and unconventional gaming experience, this is your ticket.    … 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.
