    The fandom sucks. The game doesn't.

    Undertale was my favourite game of 2015 as it captured every single aspect of a charming rpg and fleshed it out to perfection. It is best if you experience it yourself.

    Undertale has been the only game in recent history to make me feel real emotional attachment to the characters, its the only game that also did all this and made me want to kill a flower.

    Alright, real talk:

    This game made me feel feelings I haven't felt for a game for more than 10 years. A game that brought tears to my eyes and made me feel heartbroken at the end, but also happy. Bittersweet in a sense. It's chock-filled with likable, memerable and friendly characters.

    It's chock-filled with likable, memerable and friendly characters. Characters you'd wish were real, characters you wish you could just jump right into that world and hug and stay with.

    It may be hard to believe such a statement when the graphics of this game are so simplistic, don't ever let the graphics of this game take you away from it.

    The music is quite akin to that of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, and what's more is that it uses the main theme in over songs just like PMD too. The music plays an absolutely ginormous role in this game, and for those of you that have been to the location that plays the song 'Undertale', yeah, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Throat closes up even listening to it while writing this.

    The game is quite short, you could finish it in a day. But it's not the length of the game that matters, it's the experience. It's the experience you yourself as a person, as an individual, as a player and as a character in the world of Undertale, that is what matters. This game will suck you in, this game will make you laugh, this game will make you cry, this game will make you think, and most importanly this game will teach you that fighting is not always the answer.

    This game needs attention, it needs to be noticed by all those who enjoy games, it's beautiful. It's easily indie game of the year in my opinion, and is my absolute 100% game of the year.

    Play Undertale. You won't regret it.    … Expand

    It's just a fantastic game. The payoff was probably the biggest and most fantastic payoff I've seen in a game. Reminiscent of Earthbound which is great. The humor had me actually laughing and the drama had me actually crying. This game took me on an emotional ride that I'll be taking many more times.

    This game has pulled out so much emotion out of me, I literally cried 6 times XD. If I could erase my memory of this game just to replay it over, and over, and over again, I would. I look at all the other game I would play, and they look bleak and bland in comparison, this is such an inspirational piece of art. Best thing I could purchase in history for $10.

    I don't think this game needs my review's help, but I'm reviewing it anyways.

    This is a game with lots of shmup, EarthBound, and a bunch of other indie games that were also inspired by EarthBound. It has a lot of heart, a lot of bad puns, a lot of good times, and a lot of bad times. I don't think it's especially profound.

    I don't think it's especially profound. I would say it's more profound than its idol, EarthBound, and I would say the story's more meta elements are certainly clever and fun to mess with, but it probably won't change your life. And it doesn't need to. It just needs to be an inventive and unique experience.

    I really don't have any complaints about this game. I just like it all.

    But even if you don't, and play games like a detached sociopath plays with a box of toys, deriving joy by tearing apart what others have lovingly built, it has you covered as well, you lucky devils.

    The graphics, although unusual seeming at first, really begin to grow on you as you continue playing, to the point where now, I can't even imagine any other way it could have been done.
    The music is excellent, wonderfully composed, like the game itself, running the spectrum of joyful mirth, fierce conflict, and beautiful despair.
    The gameplay is innovative and well balanced. Going the non-combat route is absolutely recommended if you are interested in game design.

    It may be one of the best uses for 10 dollars right now. Period.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This essay is as non-spoiler-y as possible until a paragraph later on. I'll let you know before hand if you want to keep your experience garden fresh.
    It's very strange for me to be writing a legitimate review on just about any game, but I feel that Undertale is an exception to the rule in the fact that although it is extremely flawed, the parts that make up the whole are incredibly charming and amazing in more ways than a rational human being should imagine.

    Mechanically, it's really not the most amazing thing in the world. When you break it down, the fighting system is entirely timing based and the mercy system a more intuitive version of the part-time barista minigame in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. But where it shines is how exactly it uses this admittedly bland system to make many fights their own little events. The best example I can give without being too spoiler-y is one of the main boss battles, in which you're confronted by someone who's been chasing your tail for quite a while, but you manage to escape every time. How do you win peacefully against this rather determined figure? By running away of course!

    The story, to be honest, is very weird and sometimes a bit convoluted. A few plot points hinge on smaller details, and unless you're meticulous, you might just miss them. It is rather amusing, however, and if you can keep up you're in for one hell of a ride. The best part about the story is, again, how it twists itself to fit the situation. It remembers everything you do. If you think I'm joking, I'm not. It remembers if you accidentally hurt someone and tried to go back so you didn't do it again. It remembers if you lied to someone, how you reacted, IF you hurt someone...

    If anything shines directly and without remorse, it's the artistic presentation in three mediums; the writing, the art, and the music. Every character is a /character/. If you fight them, their fighting animation is unique to them and them alone. Their speech patterns are never shared unless they're more minor NPCs, and every major character has a personalized Bebebese they say with their lines. But even minor characters have some serious personality, such as the odd Vegetoid or the Temmies. Settings are, indeed, settings. The look and feel of each area, from the Ruins to Hotland, varies drastically. You can feel the freezing cold or sweltering heat, the water spraying onto the rocks or even the eerie silence of a hopeless city. The music made me cry. No, seriously. Near the end of the game I was bawling like a child, and I cried again the day after completing it. The music is just gorgeous.

    But if there's anything I want to praise louder than anything is the tone of the entire experience. For reference, my first run was Pre-Pacifist and my second was True, so I got the fluffy end of the stick. For those of you taking the No Mercy run first, you will not have the same experience. In fact your experience will be drastically different and could reshape the entire game for you, and that's part of what I like about it. The game, as I experienced it, is one of becoming more than the sum of yourself. I know it sounds weird but hear me out.

    Here's where the spoilers kick in, so skip this if you don't want to be spoiled.

    At the end of the True Pacifist run, you have to fight someone in particular who not only sucked up six of the seven human souls needed to break the barrier, but literally every monster soul in the entirety of the caverns. You cannot beat this boss with violence. Your attacks always miss him and his defense is infinity. What you can do is hope and dream with all your essence that you can persevere, and eventually you discover even this was not enough. You cannot defeat this boss on your own. Instead, you reach out to your friends souls, the ones that you made along the way, and free them. Each of them are just as you remember from before, but it is only after you remind them that what they were is not all they can be, and that you can be a part of them, that they truly snap out of their trance. Finally, then, you can reach out to the one who took them in the first place, and ask him if you can be a part of him too. It's an amazing, touching, epic moment, and it spoke to the small, afraid ten year old me inside that was still making these mistakes. It hit me right there.

    Spoilers over!

    If this was any other game, without its charm and compassion to do something just a bit different, Undertale would be mediocre at best. The music and art save it from being trash, and the characters would bump up the experience, but the combat and story would still be a slog. As it is, however, Undertale is what it strives to teach; you can make those mistakes. You are greater than the sum of your parts. Remember those who taught you that, and you will go far in life.

    Or you can just kill everyone and have a really bad time. Your choice, really.    … Expand

    The downsides can be that the game can be very hard and frustrating, and solutions are sometimes so obscured that they don't feel like an option.

    And the ending... OH MAN, THE ENDING...

    After the art style caught my interest I decided to buy this game on a whim. I'm glad that I did not read up on the game before playing it because the less you know about Undertale before going in the more you will be able to appreciate the gameplay and writing it throws at you.

    The game is very much it's own thing and is a fresh take on the turn based RPG and adventure game genre.    After the art style caught my interest I decided to buy this game on a whim.

    The game is very much it's own thing and is a fresh take on the turn based RPG and adventure game genre. Where action commands in combat has been used before, Undertale takes it up another notch and creates something entirely unique to itself for solid (and sometimes humorous) encounters with the monsters you face. Never before have I played a game where the non-violent approach has been this fun.

    The world of Undertale has a colorful cast of personalities. The main cast has a lot of layers to them, and it really feels like your choices matter as to how you decide to interact with them. Groan-inducing, chuckle-worthy, tear-jerking, genuinely terrifying; the characters made me fall in love with them time and time again. It is worth noting that some jokes and references require familiarity with internet subculture though.

    The overworld is not very big, but the game fleshes out locations nicely and it feels like almost every screen is memorable in its own way. Despite that, it can be a slog to walk through areas to make sure you have seen everything there is to see. There are some fast travel options, but there are at least three other places that could have benefited from similar functions to backtrack from dead-ends and what-not.

    In the grand scheme of things, the game delivers a fulfilling experience where there is a lot to discover about both the geography and population of the small world it creates. Your actions have genuine consequences that radically differ from one another, something that feels rare in games these days. There are points where it feels like corners had to be cut (like a certain boss fight in one of the paths) but they are hard not to forgive when the rest of the experience is so complete.

The concept of what an RPG is suppose to be is challenged by this game, making you ask instead, "what CAN an RPG be?" An immersive battle system with challenging and fun min-game'esque events put the idea of turn-based-combat in a retirement home. There has never been another game out there that has made me genuinely care for the characters I was meeting of fighting, and this all lends to the clever, sharp-whit writing that the game boasts proudly.

    I have nothing but praise for this game. Thank you Toby Fox and everyone who helped bring this genuine smile to my face. The worth of this game is priceless~    … Expand

    Undertale is absolutely unique. It's a RPG masterpiece full of weird characters and a moving message.

    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.
