    Undertale doesn't impress you the same way most games do. At a first glance, the graphics and pixelated art style can be off putting for some people, the gameplay is unconventional, and it looks like a retro game that should of been released in the 90's. However, after completing it, I had quickly become obsessed with the setting, characters, lore, and soundtrack. Undertale quickly becameUndertale doesn't impress you the same way most games do.

However, after completing it, I had quickly become obsessed with the setting, characters, lore, and soundtrack. Undertale quickly became a surprise to me and has then become one of my favourite games. The story is absolutely stunning, presenting players with both hilarious and heartfelt moments with perfect timing. All the characters are lovable, unique, and believable. It's hard to believe I'd have this much fun interacting with 2-D characters, but Undertale proved me wrong. The soundtrack is one of the most iconic I've heard; each track is unique, yet it sticks close to the theme of the game. The setting is full of life, encouraging players to explore the worlds many interesting aspects. Because of its 8-bit style, the graphics are either a hit or miss for people. In my opinion, it fits very well with the game, though it can be unimpressive at times. Because of this, the game may not appeal to everybody. In the end, Undertale is a spectacular indie game that raises the bar in storytelling and proved to me that 8-bit pixelated games are still worth playing today.… Expand

(although the 8-bit style will grow on you, I promise). This game is absolutely my favorite game of all time. It is fun, touching, interesting, and full to the brim with vibrancy and life. The characters feel real and the world that they live in draws you in and makes you feel instantly at home. If you are looking for a game that will touch your heart and probably make you cry this is it.

    The strengths of this game include the writing, characters, story, and all the quirky easter eggs that the player can discover through searching. No two playthroughs are exactly alike and your choices really matter. I won't give away too much, but be careful what you say and do because your actions have consequences. ;)

    This game prides itself on breaking the violent mold of traditional RPGs where the main character leaves a trail of monster corpses in their wake. It is about mercy, love, forgiveness and bravery. The gameplay is pretty fun and the soundtrack is amazing. This is a purchase you will not regret. I give it my own personal seal of profound worth.    … Expand

    I know some people will think I am riding the hype train with this game. But I went in blind. The only reference to the game I had was my ex who was preaching about how cool the game looked.

There is a lot of content for such a short game, and a lot of secrets which are still being found to thisI know some people will think I am riding the hype train with this game. But I went in blind. The only reference to the game I had was my ex who was preaching about how cool the game looked. So one Steam sale I purchased it and played through it, and oh my goodness I am glad I did. There is a lot of content for such a short game, and a lot of secrets which are still being found to this day. The story is beautiful and simple. The soundtrack is fitting yet amazing. The idea of a morality choice based on the player’s actions isn’t a new concept. It had me thinking of Silent Hill 2 with its subtle morality choice just to get an ending to the game. However knowing that our choices matter is what makes a game more immersive. However this game has drawn a colorful cult following. Which is why I usually dislike communities, they tend to ruin the experience. But I digress; this game is amazing.
    For $10 you get roughly four hours of gameplay if you don’t know where you’re going. If you do it’s shorter. The game messes with you in a way that it manipulated the save engine so that it will have you thinking something is wrong. The best way I can explain that is this; think about Eternal Darkness with its sanity meter. As it goes down strange things start to happen which confuses and freaks out the player. Toby Fox used this to his advantage. As for gameplay, it looks like a typical RPG however you have the ability to doge enemy attacks like a bullet hell shooter. You can spare or kill your enemies, attack or talk. It’s your choice. However the morality system is over hyped in this game. But it is an Indie game. So any high expectations are ludicrous at best.

    I will not ruin the story, but it is a sad yet cute one. It had my heart feeling a tad bit weak. Then I played LISA which killed my heart. So this is the light story compared to the depressing stories of RPG’s. You’ll meet a cast of loving and goofy characters. Make a ton of friends, and will have to play the game more than once to get certain endings. That’s about the only complaint I have. If you want a complete pacifist run you have to play the game twice. Sure it increases the replay value, only because you force the players to do it again.

    Anyway, if you’re looking for a game that is good for kids, cute, or just overall a time killer. I highly recommend this game. It’s not as well hyped as people make it, but it does deserve some of the praise it receives.

    Happy Gaming!    … Expand

    It is a clever and gimmicky anti-genre game. The game is often overrated for its overall quality. However, for younger audiences, the humorous dialogue and characters can be very attractive. The gimmicky mechanics can also be "deep and rewarding" for some players.

After finishing chapter one of Deltarune, I thought to jump back on to my old favorite for a while [Undertale]. Regret soon followed. Sans is very annoying and not creative in his puns, and I love dad joke puns like the ones Sans is known for and reading them they didn't make me laugh or cringe, they made me angry because they are constant and doesn't provide any detail. The story is boring, and the three routs [Neutral, Peaceful, Genocide] are creative sure but like, who cares? This game lost its appeal on me after playing actually good games with story that dragged me in. Undertale is simply a garbage game, with a weak story, with at best semi-likable characters, and in total just okay music and bad graphics. I love pixel graphics, don't get me wrong. I love pixelation over 3 dimensional figures. [Insert Japanese porn joke here]. But the issue is that the graphics are dull, overly smooth in most areas, too bright and colorful, it hurts to look at this game sometimes. Undynes house is one of those too colorful ones, so is the lab [TOO MUCH YELLOW/LIGHT BLUE MIX.] Sometimes [for example sans secret room] it is just not that great or rewarding. Photoshop Flowey [or Omega Flowey] doesn't fit in, it sure is fun to battle him [more on the battles later] but his graphics are so badly put together [like real photoshops [this was a joke, laugh]] that it took away from the game. It was fine on its own but the graphics Flowey has here are so bad that it was not worth it anymore. The characters were tiring to deal with. Toriel is annoying and over caring [which i know is her character but like, I don't feel bad for killing her anymore]. Sans is annoying with his puns, Papyrus is also very annoying to read because of the **** way he talks, Undyne is meh, Alphys makes my head hurt when I talk to her, Mettaton [In all forms including Ex, Neo, Overworld] just no. Flowey is an awful villain, should have killed us one shot if they were trying. Asgore literally doesn't live long enough to like or hate him,

    So I should talk about the one good thing, the thing that makes it a 4.
    The battle system. That saves this game from a 0. I would just not be writing this review on this garbage game and hope it just ceases to exist soon except the battle system is genius. If you read/heard reviews of Undertale you will know this is the games strong point that most people love. It is easy yet difficult, creative, and just overall makes this game almost mediocre on its own. If you do plan on playing Undertale and you haven't yet, ignore the story and jump right into battle, it really is what makes the game actually somewhat worth while.    … Expand

    2) This game was made by only 1 person, Toby Fox. He did the art, story, music, etc. a) As a $5 dollar game made by one dude, the game is quite good. It is VERY charming. b) The are 3 endings. Each play through last 6 hours and they are EXACTLY THE SAME. Only the final 10-15 minutes change. If    Let me give you some background information:

    While I think this may very well be one of the most overrated games of all time, it is a good game. It is a breath of fresh air in a world where developers seem more focused on making the best graphics instead of a good story or good gameplay.

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

    i play video games for 30+ years now but i never played such an overhyped game. easily bottom 20.

    the game is half hearted designed, the art is horrible, the characters are depthless, the story is completely predictable and it is just a pain to play.
    the only pros are the music and the fresh combat design. but that doesn't save the game from being bad.

    UNDERTALE is a satire of conventional RPGs that brings multiple laughs while simultaneously offering a story that challenges a player's perspective on characters in a video game and RPGs games as a whole.

    The excellent music, art design and story however is held back by it's simple gameplay that while intriguing at first seems to fall short of its potential.

    But there are 2 big weaknesses: First of all, the gameplay is too simple. The minigames for attacking and defending are great ideas and there are many abbreviations with nice ideas, but still there should be more complex elements in the whole game. I guess the jrpg system is the problem. The many dialogs and long paths were annoying also. Yes, sometimes I had troubles to motivate to continue to play because of that, especially in the end. So for sure I didnt want to play this game again to sse the other endings.
    And second: The graphic is about 30 years old. Where is the problem to implement a graphic for example like in Secret of Mana?

    What about the music? Please be warned as it is catchy and addictive.
    The gameplay is fairly simple and is focused about the concept of skill-based combat that is not a combat at all. Nothing special but good enought to keep you engaged while you enjoy the great story.
    To sum it up - great game and you should play it. I'm going to eat my spaghetti now.    … Expand

    Undertale is a lesson for all games devoid of soul. Some games are interactive traps, with appealing visuals and game mechanics, but with no real connection to the player. Games like Undertale make you feel like you exist, and invite you to think of others as a complex living being like you, rather than just numbers.

    - All good games are all about the player. Undertale is a good game.

    Cons:
    - Gameplay-wise, you feel weightless in some battles, specially some boss battles. Some are just about re-choosing the same option, reading through the enemy's dialog and enduring the battle.
    - Some visuals aren't pleasant (it's more understandable considering this is a work from a single person, but it's still a fact).    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played it on the year of its release and really enjoyed it. However it is not without its flaws.

    The best thing about it is the music; lovely pieces that became instant memes because of how catchy and "video-gamey" they were.

    [spoilers ahead]
    Story comes next. It is interesting enough to catch your attention, and the game design deviates from classical RPG on purpuse in order to make you get focused on narrative and dialogue - for an example: there are side-quests and instances where you can deviate from the route to 'complete' the game, but while in most other RPGs the side-quests reward you with special equipment, weapons, abilities etc., in Undertale you get funny cutscenes and dialogue as rewards.

    The story itself is simple, charming but lacks some depth and complexity. At most, it hits you with some "im14andthisisdeep" moments. 4th wall-breaking is more of an easy gimmick than something truly original or smart.

    Graphic design could have been better. Some characters feel clunky and rushed; devs could have done a better job in this regard.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm here to rewrite my review since my opinion on this game pretty much changed since then.
    For a first, blind experience it's probably a 9, but once you start replaying it it kinda loses it's charm. However, it's still a neat game, in my opinion.

    However (yes, again), unless you're an ending hunter, this game won't have much replay value aside from doing a Genocide Route and then a Souless Pacifist. That and the infamous punch card trick, which from a speedrunner perspective is kinda cool, but not for normal, casual players as you'll probably find it useless and only an inventory filler.

    Gameplay is OK, the battle system is kinda cool, story is done kinda well, soundtrack is also kinda cool (there are a few amazing soundtracks in there), graphics are OK for an 8-bit game. But when you think about the game overall, it's nothing really too new and interesting (aside from the final boss battle in the True Pacifist Route, the two final bosses in the Neutral Route and the final boss and ending of the Genocide Route).

    Do I recommend it? If you like RPGs and bullet hell games, I guess this is okay for you. Otherwise, I don't really know.    … Expand

    UNDERTALE is my favourite game. IMO it's a masterpiece.

    First of all, if you would like to play this game, don't spoil it for yourself, you should do at least your first playthrough "blindly" for the best experience. You won't regret it... UNDERTALE's "motto" is "The friendly RPG where nobody has to die!", because you decide who you want to kill (or who you don't = ) ). You can even    UNDERTALE is my favourite game.

    One of the best from the many things that make the game great is that its creator, Toby Fox (it's mostly made only by him) thought of almost everything, even the littlest details. For example, you can hear a character's theme's leitmotif in the location's theme where they appear, etc etc... (10/10 explanation (/s))
    Another great thing is that even players who have already finished the game many times (*cough* replayed *the* "routes" many times *cough*; like me) can discover/hear new things, new mysteries (solved) about the game.

    Boy, I could write a long and detailed list on the things that make UNDERTALE great.

    Also, this game is the perfect example on how videogames' graphics doesn't matter that much.

    I rate this game and its soundtrack tem out of tem! ((seamless reference))

    BTW, people say that the fanbase is "cancerous", but most of the time you can only meet cancerous fans if you are looking for them "intentionally"...

    Normalmente no le pondría puntuación ya que si es único no podría compararlo con los otros videojuegos en sus aspectos, esa es la razón por la que muchos consideran -perfecto- el juego :p .

    -Le pongo un 10/10 en dialogo e historia (Si no lo evaluara como indie le bajaría a 7/10)
    -En apartado técnico nose, es que cada acción que hagas creas un algoritmo donde ese acto toma consecuencias en el futuro (EJ: Le dices a la rana que odias los textos amarillos y luego esos textos aparecen botado en la basura) y cientos de cosas más, pero mas allá de eso no hay mucho, le doy un 6/10 sin la interaccion entre hechos-consecuencias y un 9/10 con ello y lo de la cuarta pared (si lo evaluara como un juego triple AAA, le daría un 3/10 y un 7/10 respectivamente)
    -En diseño y originalidad le pongo un 9/10
    En total le pondría un 8/10, ya que no se puede hacer mucho en las batallas y en el mapa en sí, mas que puzzles, interactuar con personajes y llamar por teléfono, cosas que en el lado del diseño y arte esta excelente pero en lo tecnológico esta cutre para ser un rpg.    … Expand

Some don't realize their actions matter until it's already too late. My friends in the Internet played it like Pokemon, and then regretted it. My friends at school outright refuse to play, watch someone else play it or even look it up because of the graphics. They don't know what they're missing. Fun fact, they compliment the music I usually listen to, which is from the soundtrack of the game. The fandom is also really entertaining. All the alternate universes people make, the comics and the fanart... Even fanmade songs. I think Undertale is one of those gems that only appear once every something years, and that everyone should give it a shot and try to see past the graphics.

This is the only game aside from Papers, Please that I would consider literally perfect. I'm serious. Even Crash Bandicoot 2, my previous favourite game, is flawed in certain areas. (Hitboxes, certain broken textures, etc.)

    Whereas a normal game would make me say "That was fun" and leave it at that, Undertale changed how I view video games. Seeing as I'm in the process of making my own, this is a great thing. Seeing as I was a pacifist, I actually hesitated to kill in other games. A lot of negative reviews here say that the combat is too simple, but don't realise that it's simpler to select an attack and receive damage. All the bullet hell is is a was to negate damage should you avoid everything.

    No game has had an effect as huge as Undertale has on me, even ignoring things like the only soundtrack I religiously listen to outside the game. Even Hotline Miami didn't have a soundtrack that strong. The reason for this is that Toby Fox, the lead dev, primarily made music beforehand. He was responsible for a lot of Homestuck's soundtrack.

    Some people think that people who rate 10 are simply fanboys, but it's not easy to get a 10 from me. I recommend this heavily to literally everyone. I only ask that you don't use a walkthrough. Being blind is a big part of the experience.

    Unlike many titles of the present day with techniques that encourage you to grind so you waste more time on sub-par parts of games Undertale doesn't make you waste any of your time and makes the game totally engaging when it does for the sake of anticipation, and remains brief.

    Many titles now feel like they are inherently missing content because of things like day-one-DLC that encourage the player to spend more money on content that should have been in the game in the first place. There is nothing missing in Undertale, period. The game is a complete and memorable experience. Unless you are an irrational person who believes all the hype and literally thinks that this game will cure cancer, YOU WILL ENJOY THIS GAME.

    The game does the job correctly of being a video game by actually being fun. It seems like we've forgotten that competition doesn't inherently equal fun, and this is something I think games like Super Smash Bros. and League of Legends easily forget.

    The characters are memorable and lovable the soundtrack is clever and thematic and the story easily surpasses anything thought up by the likes of the video game creation community for a long time.

    10 is not even a high enough score, if it were up to me I would give this game an eleven because I've never played a game like it, and probably never will again…

    Pros:
    - The music is incredible; catchy, fun and perfectly suited to the title
    - Great writing; the characters are memorable and unique, with the first half of the cast unforgettable
    - Creative and ingenuitive "combat"; while you can go through this world completely hack and slash, they is a completely non violent path to take. The majority of the battles are more puzzles than fights, looking for ways to please the enemy enough to make them not want to fight

    Cons:
    - The last few bosses are either combat heavy or just endurance fests, with the final boss not leaving the player any choice but to fight. That ruined my enjoyment. It was Deus Ex Human Revolution all over again - my non lethal character being forced needlessly into combat. Others require you just to wait long enough for the boss to give up. The fun was in puzzling out the battles, not sitting there and avoiding attacks for ten minutes.

    Mixed:
    - The limited visuals can sometimes be a detriment, with occasional bland and samey environments. For the most part, though, the art design is eye catching and pleasing

    Overall, an incredible example of what one man can do. An original title in a time of sequels, reboots and remasters, it's no wonder that Undertale is so highly praised. However, the later marathon bosses damage the game's world view. In a title that so deeply relies on it's story, this is a painful detriment. Overall, a good game, worth picking up cheap, but don't expect the world from it.    … Expand

    This game made me crazy! The gameplay is original, the characters are funny and attaching, the story is well-thought. The best point is the longevity of the game. Yes, if you do the story just once, you play just 3-4h, but if you want to know all ends and also the entire story, you HAVE TO do the game at least 3 times.

You select an action, the mob or boss attack you and you can avoid this. If you think you need to kill all mob, you've wrong! You can mercy them! So this game is maybe one of the best PC game, with perfect mix between music, fight and story!… Expand

    This game is just wonderful, magnificent, marvelous, , incredible, etc. UNDERTALE! The RPG game where you don't have to destroy anyone.

    I can say really a lot about this game. Don’t even know what to start with... Yeah almost everyone who played this game has fallen in love with it. Yes this game have really a lot of fans, theories, some interesting stories, etcetera. But I’m here to tell you what I like in this game the most.
    Music
    I don’t know how much time it took to create all those soundtracks, but I think for amators it would take like a years to do such a thing. Because this music is the whole game. Every soundtrack is unique and cool. Maybe this game the only one where all soundtracks are really cool. Every single one. Some tracks really inspire you in the battles. Some of them are just relaxing, and some even have made my friend cry o.o Even now I’m listening to the soundtrack which fills me up with determination to write this review :) You can find music -here and here
    Story
    What can be better than an interesting story with 3 routes . Pacifist, Genocide, Neutral.
    1.Pacifist is a whole game of emotional positivity, the best jokes from skeletons (♥♥♥♥ I love their jokes). Interesting and unbelievable shows from mettaton and alphys. The coolest time spending with Undyne and others. After Undertale you will still keep in your mind all character because each of them is unique. You will love all of them because how to not love so funny, kind , interesting friends to who you will prove that not every human brings the chaos in the underground. Maybe from the start you will think how to get to home because all game is about how you are trying your best to reach the point like with every save you are filling yourself more and more with the determination like you meeting so many enemies on your way but you trying to prove them people are not bad you gain more and more friends, fans and just people who want to stay with you. And that’s it you reached the point you filled on full with determination you see that you almost reached the end and after you doing that you understand that you don’t want to leave all those friends you gain, you don’t want to lost all those love you earned from them and you understand that you heart is here and it’s belonging to them. But things going even more better in the true pacifist ending you are not just reaching the point but you not even leaving your friends, family. And all happy together.
    2. Genocide: But you see that there is not only one way to use your determination, you think you should become stronger to raise your LV and HP . But with every lv up you see that you are losing your self and something other controlling it now but this is already too late to stop you killed everyone there is no way back. Everyone told you:” You gonna have a bad time”, but you didn’t listen. The whole game trying to say you that to be bad it’s not that easy and there is no profit from it. But you are filled with determination again and you are going further because you know you can do it and you are doing it and what happened next it doesn’t matter for you any more you just want to do it and that’s all.
    3.Neutral: Sometimes you kill sometimes not, but still you will be forced to choose bad or good ending.
    At the end I will say that this game can really go deep in your heart. Be careful thro to not hurt yourself by choosing routes. This game will also go deep in your memory with all good moments you passed in. Of course I recommend this game and wish to everyone have fun in it. I will see you in the next review and stay determined!
    My real hours somwhere close to ~ 55 because i was afk a lot in game.

    Cons:
    Frustratingly Difficult
    Unbalanced Features
    No Multiplayer

    It wasn’t around late August, 2015, that I discovered this game, almost a year after its release. Even so, the overwhelmingly large and amazing fan base I had stumbled into was still going strong. I was overcome by the kindness and diversity of the community and had to play the game for myself. I got the game for Christmas of that year and “finished” it in only two days. The game had been even better than I had anticipated, and I couldn’t put it down.

    I had started playing the game only a day after I got it, and was immediately thrust into the story. Although there wasn’t much on the surface, game creator, Toby Fox, left cracks specifically for the community to tear into caverns. The game’s characters made me feel like a had a real relationship with a real person, and when it came to killing or sparing, I could never pick the first. I decided first to play the pacifist route, the preferred first of itself, neutral, and genocide. In pacifist, when giving the choice, you spare every single NPC, and don’t kill, or eat, a single one. In neutral, you kill side characters, and spare every main character. In genocide, you brutally murder everything in sight. It is the only gamemode I couldn’t bring myself to play. I did watch gameplay of the gamemode, however, but watching every character be mercilessly murdered, brought me to literal tears.

    I absolutely loved the game. It was, by far, my favorite gaming experience of all time. The community was the most immersive, kind, and compassionate I’ve ever seen. The game itself was definitely a 5-star experience, and I’ve never felt so emotionally attached to a game and its story. Its characters felt so real, and they made me genuinely want to help them with their struggles. I felt like I wanted to cry when a character was sad or hurt, and I felt excited when I character was happy or accomplished something.

    It's a complex experience. Depending on how much you allow yourself to be immersed, Undertale can be life-changing.

This little game does something that no other has actually accomplished... by making the choices feel real and the consequences can reach you in real-life. Few games can actually make you care, but this game makes you feel it as if it was real.

    Every single character is memorable, the soundtracks alone are already worth the money you get from it. The game changes drastically depending on how you play it and, there are mysteries, romances, nightmare-fuel segments and vivid dialogues that makes you care about each and every of those characters. If you're a good person at heart, chances are, you might cry before you even get through the tutorial. What you do or not have a tremendous change on the world around you, unlike many other titles out there.

    Despite not having a great variety of attack choices (like magic, limit breakers or whatever), the game allows you to interact much more with each monster you encounter, by allowing you to dodge, time your attacks (you could also not attack at all or miss on purpose), mixing RPG mechanics with Platforming, Bullet hell and dating sims. No joke.

    If you're expecting an action RPG or a hack n slash with AAA graphics, then dude... You're at the wrong side of gaming here. This is a experience unlike any other game and... if you don't get any spoilers, then, it is NECESSARY to play the game more than once. Seriously, DO NOT JUDGE THIS GAME AFTER ONLY ONE PLAYTHROUGH. Make different choices, spare, kill, see what changes, this game's songs and humor are only not even the tip of the iceberg. Toby Fox's work is DENSE and you should take it in a personal level, not taking choices to get Ending A or Ending B, but doing what you would do if this WASN'T a game.

This game truly is a masterpiece through the first two of the three main endings. The third, however, is much like the secrets you hide in your closet. It’s there but you hope no one goes to see what’s inside. If not for this third main ending the game would truly be perfect. Games are meant to be fun, and designing the route to this last ending to be as unfun as possible to prove a point is not good game design in my most honest opinion. All in all, Undertale is one of my favorite games of all time. Just remember to Save the animals, and leave it at that.

    Have you ever noticed how, in a typical RPG (and, now that I think about it, most games in general) battles don’t really mean anything? How many times have you defeated a miniboss, only to have it stand back up and laugh at you, saying “I have underestimated you! You are a worthy opponent! This is not the end! We shall meet again!” and make a getaway? Think about it. How many times do youHave you ever noticed how, in a typical RPG (and, now that I think about it, most games in general) battles don’t really mean anything? How many times have you defeated a miniboss, only to have it stand back up and laugh at you, saying “I have underestimated you! You are a worthy opponent! This is not the end! We shall meet again!” and make a getaway? Think about it. How many times do you beat up Balrog in Cave Story only to have him fly away without a scratch? How is Black Knight able to keep running away after Shovel Knight stabs the hell out of him? How come you black out if you lose a Pokémon battle, but none of the other trainers do? And how does the big bad villain always seem to get away, even if their HP hits zero, so they can reappear in the sequel?

    Undertale asks the question, “What if defeating an enemy in battle always means that they die?”

    This might seem quite inconsequential in random encounters, but Undertale will also pit you against several main characters. If you defeat a main character in battle, they’re dead for good, and the whole story changes to reflect it. Heavy stuff.

    But thankfully, as the game advertises, you don’t actually have to kill anyone! The game offers a second option to get out of battles: talking the enemy out of fighting. This involves solving a simple puzzle, almost always involving the “Act” menu in battle. The puzzle changes depending on what kind of enemy you’re fighting; sometimes you’ll just need to give them a compliment, other times you’ll need to survive several of their attacks, and so on. Once they’re not emotionally invested in the battle anymore, you can “spare” them, and the battle ends. You won’t get any EXP for it, but you’ll still get gold. It’s a very unique fighting mechanic!

    I admit, after my first playthrough of the game, I was disappointed in the story’s presentation. I thought that both the very beginning and the final area of the game were fantastic, dripping with shocking emotional dilemmas, but the middle 80% of the game’s content seemed like it relied too much on oddball humor and not much else. The game hilariously plays with expectations and has no shortage of genuinely witty satire of its genre, and I found myself amused by nearly all of it, but after the first two hours as I was walking across long linear worlds and listening to dozens of characters try to tell me jokes, I started to wonder where the emotional gravity had gone. “Why is this game making me laugh, when I thought it was supposed to make me cry?” I asked myself. “Where are the feelings? After such an excellent and powerful prologue, why is the game taking so long to show me more?”

    Later that night, as I was lying awake in bed, the answer hit me: the game was quirky and lighthearted because I was sparing everyone’s life. I wasn’t playing as a murderer. If you want this game to have drama, you have to cause it. And I think that’s where all the hype is coming from, all the talk about player choice. This is a game about being a tree-hugging pacifist, or a murderous psychopath who kills anyone who gets in the way, or anything in between. You only need to live with whomever you decide to be, because the game won’t let you ignore what you have done.

    Though it isn’t the most visually impressive game, and the stage design isn’t always the best, Undertale has left me feeling that I have just witnessed a work of art. It tried some new and ambitious things and isn’t ashamed of what it wanted to be. It's about 6 hours long; I’d recommend anyone to play it at least twice, just to be able to say that they've made their own choices and seen what the game has to offer. It’s hard to imagine that anyone would regret the experience.    … 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.
