    I absolutely fell in love with this game. The game play is really engrossing (as well as legitimately very difficult at times) but what really sold me on the game was the way that it treats choice. I don't think any other RPG ever has had this deep of an exploration into the effects that your choices have on the characters, the world around you, as well as on your actual gameplay itself.I absolutely fell in love with this game.

I don't think any other RPG ever has had this deep of an exploration into the effects that your choices have on the characters, the world around you, as well as on your actual gameplay itself. It's a game that forces you, the player, to bear the responsibility of the player character's actions, which is something that very few other games can do. On top of that, the cast of characters and the story of the game is beyond amazing - it's insane to think that one person made this whole game. And with such excellent writing, gameplay, and an incredible soundtrack. Expand

    Undertale has original and interesting plot, memorable characters, great humor and terrible graphics. Unlike most of the other story-driven games this one has a gameplay that is actually tied to the game ideas and most of the player's choices are made through gameplay.

    Let's be real here, when I first descoverd UnderTale... Man, it sounded **** It was obviously based off EarthBound, and BOY do I hate EarthBound. When I actually got a chance to play it at my Friends house, man, a huge mistake I made. It is trully amazing. It has beautiful Pixel graphics and a catchy theme tune. Also Dogs... I thought I fould nine, but i might have only seen eight. But that is not the point. I mean, you can date a bloody fish, what more do you want?

    The characters all have their charms, and that is what akes the game more epic.

    If you are finding it hard to choose a game to buy, give UnderTale a try. You won't regret it!

    This one is on the best games that I have played in the recent years.. And could easily win against all the AAA titles that have been released so far. Undertale knows very well when to joke and make you cry. It also knows everything.
    Clever, fun, and full of heart game.

No battle I found was unbeatable though, especially if you have the right equipment. I felt like NPC's had a mind of their own, with the flawless and humorous way this story was told. What makes it even better is how the combat works. There are a number of different attack patterns that you have to tap in rapid succession for the highest point total and an even more numerous defense pattern of intricate magic monster attacks that you would have to block/maneuver. Another added bonus to the game is the replayability level, with the number of endings and unlockable content, the upside to replaying the game is quite irresistible. The number of times I would be tripping over what had happened or what I was to do was countless, and that is what makes this game such a masterpiece a true 10/10 Expand

The story is creative and utterly heartfelt and it is genius in the way it deconstructs the modern videogame.

    However, if you're looking for really challenging gameplay, this game may not be for you - the gameplay and battle scenarios are simple and can definitely get frustrating and bland at times. Nor are they very challenging if you're an experienced gamer. But it's not really driven by its gameplay at all, but rather by its story. And the boss battles still provide a good, fun challenge, and one gave me quite the adrenalin rush!

    Its sense of humour also is pretty specific and up to personal preference. While I find it hilarious, there are others out there who might not, and that's fine. Overall, I would strongly recommend Undertale to anyone, gamer or not.

    Wow. Thats a game. This is not a normal game. This is a game with heart. Made with a spark of passion and inspiration. It's not just a cash grab, and the story is worth sixty bucks, but sells for twenty. I have never been so in love with a games characters. I have never loved a games music so much. I have never played a game like this, and I doubt I ever will. I can't recommend a game more.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Undertale es un juegazo y es entendible que a alguno les encante, sin embargo, mucho de lo que transmite es simplemente en base a las experiencias y la narrativa. Me explico:

    Lo bueno:

    -Gráficos. Reflejan bien ese estilo de 8 bits con los personajes monocromáticos en las peleas a su máximo nivel.
    -Música: Junto con el apartado gráfico, otra cosa que destaca de Undertale, ya que su música se asemeja a la de los juegos retro. El mejor punto del juego, excelente sin duda alguna.
    -Jefes y personajes: Son muy carismáticos y las peleas son muy divertidas!
    -Batalla contra Sans: Vaya! En mi opinión, una de mis peleas favoritas contra jefe en un videojuego.

    Lo malo:
    -Gráficos: Así como este juego refleja mas o menos la época de los 8 bits, algunas cosas sinceramente se ven muy feas mas que nada los escenarios que son muy simples y poco inspirados.
    -Duración: El juego es muy corto, y no me digan que es un juego indie. Hay juegos indie que son incluso muchos mas largos que juegos hechos por empresas. La primera vez que jugas al modo historia, uno lo puede terminar (o al menos yo lo termine) en menos de 2 horas.
    -Linealidad, sistema de RPG, historia y finales: El juego es un RPG, pero no tiene mucho de RPG (la verdad es que ni debería haberlo sido). Me atrevería a llamar a Undertale un RPG altamente genérico. Si bien tiene eso de perdonar a los monstruos, que es aceptable, no esta muy bien aprovechado. Ademas de que la primera vez que jugas, lo mas probable es que hagas la ruta neutral, ruta que esta totalmente vacía en comparación con las demás. La primera vez que jugas al juego.... no tenes ni idea de las rutas, no sabes que hay otros finales, no sabes nada! Y si mataste a Flowey, aun menos! Tuve suerte de enterarme al mirar una wiki... de la curiosidad que tenia... si no lo hubiera hecho, ni me enteraba! La historia es muy confusa al principio y si no vas al resto de rutas, no te enteras de nada. Aunque la trama en si es muy interesante, que va de la mano con el gameplay, incluso autoparodiandose a si mismo, cosa muy innovadora y destacable! Pero el tema de las rutas arruina un poco la experiencia, volviendose por cierto tedioso, ya que la manera de entrar a ellas es determinada por la cantidad de enemigos que mueren en lugar de multiple choices que es como debería haber sido también. Muy buena historia, pero muy mal contada y con elementos en ella que no me terminan de cuadrar por que lo dejan ahi en el aire, como lo de Gangster o la relación entre Asgore y Flowey, que si bien en la ruta pacifista te la cuentan, faltan muchos datos.
    -Solo podes equiparte una arma y armadura y tenes 20 niveles, ademas de que los encuentros contra los enemigos son siempre los mismos, y no, no me refiero a que son los mismos que aparecen en la misma zona, no, sino que todos los combates son scripts, no hay nada de aleatoriedad. Por lo que simplemente se siente que este sistema RPG esta puesto de manera artificial, que si bien combina bien con la narrativa, a nivel jugable esta mal balanceado y deja mucho que desear.
    -En cuanto a la exploración, es nula. Durante todo el trayecto, uno tiene que ir en linea recta y nada mas.... puzzle, jefe.... puzzle, jefe.... así.... Los puzzles son aburridos, aunque los jefes, como ya dije antes, son muy interesantes. Explorar ademas, no beneficia al jugador, salvo con pequeños detalles de la trama así sueltos que sinceramente uno se los puede saltear.

    No me malinterpreten, Undertale es un juego que he disfrutado mucho. El problema es que solo transmite sentimientos y no diversión, con un sistema RPG mediocre implementado de manera artificial (aunque en si tenga sentido en la narrativa), y que si bien la historia es en si una obra maestra, esta muy mal contada, con datos faltantes y con una rejugabilidad que radica principalmente en las rutas opcionales, pero que el juego no te cuenta sobre ellos. Lo recomiendo totalmente para los amantes de los juegos retro e indie, pero que esta lejos de ser excelente, ya que como producto en si y comparandolo con otros juegos indie, deja un poco que desear. Al menos juegos como The Gray Garden tenían mas personalización y una historia mejor contada. Undertale por cada punto positivo que encuentro, hay algo negativo. Si bien el estilo artístico esta muy bien y es muy retro, hay muchas partes que son demasiado simples. Si bien la historia me encanto, radica en obtener el 100%, y faltan muchos datos, estando la historia principal (la ruta neutral) muy incompleta. Si bien la jugabilidad se integra a la narrativa y trae conceptos muy innovadores, llega a ser demasiado artificial e innecesario por tener encuentros y sistema de nivel basados enteramente en scripts, con nula personalización y decisiones a tomar, como si hubieran metido el sistema RPG a la fuerza por que no les quedaba de otra.
    Un gran juego, pero que le falta pulirse muchísimo. Deltarune termino siendo la evolución de Undertale en cuanto a mecánicas.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If I had to rate Undertale, I would give it 8 out of 10 points. It's very charming and funny with memorable characters. Combining turn-based combat with "bullet hell" combat is a unique idea that we have not seen before. Undertale is also worth playing multiple times for the full experience. I wouldn't consider it to be one of my favorite games, however, because I started to realize all the real action takes place inside a tiny box on the screen, and I don't see myself coming back to stare intently at a tiny box after I finish my true pacifist run. To end this review on a more positive note, I would love to see the developer of Undertale expand the combat area in the next game and have the main character dodge projectiles across the entire screen.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was a hard decision, Undertale is a fun game that is really fun to play, however there is some flaws that affect my decision. Firstly the biggest problem, the message; you know when the trailer for Undertale came out it said "the friendly RPG where no one has to die" it should of really said "The RPG where no one should die or else SUFFER FOREVER IN THE FLAMING PITS OF HELL" because this game will shove the message down your THROUGHT. Another problem is doing genocide, it's nearly impossible to play it because all you do is grind, it's really hard to do in the core, oh god don't get me started on the core; I had to "reset" 5 TIMES before I could progress. Plus the style isn't my cup of tea. Sure, it's really nice; however I feel like it's overly simplistic. But there is one problem...one problem that really gets me mad about this game...its community. Most of the Community is really awful, so awful in fact that many people judge this game based of its fandom, That's just awful. When you have a game that gets hated not by it's game, but by its fandom, it's really sad.Overall this game is great, however there is some things that should be fixed. Expand

Its very unique and full of heart. I loved every minute of this game and I felt like I got a lot out of it. It was just so cute and clever and different.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Definitely a good game, but does NOT deserve all the praise that it gets. I give it a solid 8/10 at best but most people I see treat it as a complete 10/10 masterpiece. Rather than going over the positive things about the game(as many people have done that already), I'm gonna list some faults that aren't mentioned very often.

    Problem 1: The Leveling System
    - Without delving into spoilers as best I can, in short, the game punishes you for wanting to get stronger. One of the most fun parts about RPGs is the progression; leveling up and getting more powerful as the game goes on as a result of your hard work. Undertale however doesn't want you to do that, implementing morals into this fundamental part of RPGs. While I think it's for sure a unique way to go about it, it definitely hinders the gameplay. One way I think this could've been avoided is if you could unlock new ACTs or something as you continue to defeat enemies using them. That brings me to my next point:

    Problem 2: ACTing
    - You can spare enemies in the game through utilizing the ACT button as an alternative way of defeating them. The game actively pushes you to use this method, but doesn't take advantage of it. Most acts are just as straightforward as simply attacking the enemy or are there for comedic purposes(some enemies don't even require you to use ACTs nor attack them to defeat them), with some exceptions(mettaton for example, you'll know once you play the game). You'd think you'd have to watch the enemy and judge their personality in order to find out what ACT will best diffuse the situation, but *most of the time* it comes down to just choosing the first one you see without much strategy put into it. That doesn't mean I don't think it's a great concept or unique idea; most of the game's charm comes from this system, I just believe it hasn't received enough criticism.

    Problem 3: The writing
    - This is subjective, but personally I found most of the writing to be too internet-savvy and generally just cringe in many places where the game is basically begging you to laugh. (ALPHYS AS A PRIME EXAMPLE). That or the game is shoving the "my friends are my power" cliche in your face(which the game is actually self-aware in considering Flowey). I think the general goofiness found around is welcomed, but not the comedic genius that people say it is. However to end on a positive note I do think the game does a good job at its emotional moments(ESPECIALLY with the peak OST) and especially with the plot-twists and hidden complexity behind the game's simplistic exterior.

    Overall, do I recommend it? Definitely. Although overhyped hence these problems, I think it's an experience you shouldn't pass up on.

But with a unique fighting system, some really cool characters, a true pacifist option (or one where you look for battles to kill EVERYONE, and the hardest boss who, if you face, will give you "a bad time") and a story I can't explain because it'll ruin the game with spoilers that you DON'T want to know before you play it, this is full stop perfect(hint: don't just press the spare button to use mercy, that doesn't often work). Don't listen to the haters, they mostly haven't played it. This is the best game ever made. Expand

    >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.

    It can be a great nostalgic adventure for those who grew up playing the old 2D RPG games and it’s a good game for everyone else.

    GAMEPLAY ( 7 out of 10 )
    The combat system is innovative, varied and frequently challenging but lacks depth and winning a tough battle is much more about eye-finger coordination than strategy or creative thinking. The puzzles are somewhat clever but there are very few of them in the game and the level designs aren't the most impressive or diverse, particularly in the tedious first half of the game. When you encounter a monster, you can do certain actions (including “Check”, “Console”, “Talk”, “Complement”, “Joke”, “Hug”, “Flirt”, etc…) besides fighting and you can even choose to “Spare” him, which only works after you do certain actions or when the monster is weakened enough. This is an interesting system and it's much more fun and less repetitive than simply attacking the monsters. But with some monsters, including all the bosses, the “Spare” option sometimes doesn't work the same way than with regular monsters or doesn't work at all, and the game only gives you a small clue about this in the beginning and never reinforces it after that.

    To “Spare” a monster doesn't reward you with any EXP points (only with coins), so if you don't kill any monster your character will remain weak and with low HP throughout the entire game. It doesn't make any sense to me that you earn EXP points for killing the monsters and not earn any for winning the battles without killing them, and it only makes the game more frustrating in the process. To “Talk” and “Spare” monsters starts out as a more compelling course of action then simply killing them, but because your character’s HP remains low and the monsters become stronger as you advance in the game and never show you any mercy (they will always try to kill you if you don't spare them, even if you don't attack them), the result will probably be an increase in “Game Over” screens per hour. This eventually forces you to backtrack a little to buy more health items. In conclusion, the only incentive to continue not killing any monster after the first few hours of the game is to see how that affects the story and the ending.

    If you kill one of the bosses the game will probably punish you by becoming increasingly hard and mind-numbing and making the final boss battle almost impossible to beat – at least the boss that I killed had that consequence – which is extremely unfair and anti-climactic, particularly because the game doesn't give you any clue about this. Also, it’s impossible to go back to before your last save point because you can't have more than one save file, which is another incomprehensible and dated aspect that adds more frustration – if this is the price to pay for a few speech lines alluding to what you did in previous lives and playthroughs and other so called “4th wall destruction” elements present in the game, it's not worth it in my humble opinion. In other words, the choice to be a pacifist or a murderer appears to be just an illusion of choice, since the game never gives you any chance to redeem yourself.

    The controls are simple enough to be enjoyable to play with a keyboard and it's also compatible with non-Microsoft gamepads.

    STORY ( 7 out of 10 )
    Character speeches and narrative lines are well written – some of them are genuinely funny and a handful are truly thought provoking. The characters themselves are odd and have unique personalities, although throughout the game none of them is developed to the point of becoming completely three dimensional. The plot is mysterious and different enough and has some heart, and it's impressive how the game remembers what you did and how some of your actions affect the tone of the story and its characters' behaviors, but at the same time it's incoherent and doesn't seem to have a very well-defined vision of what it wants to transmit to the player. I couldn’t beat the final boss and thus haven’t seen any version of the story finale.

    VISUALS ( 6 out of 10 )
    “Superbrothers: Sword & Sorcery EP” has a much more beautiful pixel art design then this game and there are a few times when it's not perfectly clear what's happening on screen, which hurts the gameplay.

    SOUND ( 7 out of 10 )
    The music is enjoyable, its tone always fits the game seamlessly, but the sound effects are just awful.

    VALUE ( 9 out of 10 )
    The game lasts between 7-11 hours, depending on how you play and how many times you die in the game. That's a great amount considering the low price, despite the fact that after I finished the game I didn't want to replay it, even knowing there was still new dialog to be read and multiple endings to be unlocked.

    FINAL SCORE ( 7.0 out of 10 )
    An innovative, somewhat clever, enjoyable, simplistic and half-the-time frustrating 2D RPG that lacks depth and coherence.

    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.

    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.

    Undertale is a wonderful game, largely due to its exceptional story as well as wonderful characters. While its gameplay mechanisms are unique, creative, and solid enough for the first few playthroughs, they are significantly flawed, and their flaws compromise the overall gameplay and replayability. Still, I recommend this game to anyone who loves a good story and is not too obsessed withUndertale is a wonderful game, largely due to its exceptional story as well as wonderful characters. While its gameplay mechanisms are unique, creative, and solid enough for the first few playthroughs, they are significantly flawed, and their flaws compromise the overall gameplay and replayability. Still, I recommend this game to anyone who loves a good story and is not too obsessed with replayability and the sort.
    Below is a more detailed analysis.

    Positives:
    + An overall light-hearted story about love, peace and forgiveness. More mature and disturbing aspects also exist, making the game more interesting.
    + Fleshed-out and lovable characters
    + The music is awesome, especially for people who grew up playing old video games.
    + Your moral choices affect the story, and you can choose your ending.
    + The pacing of the story is just all right
    + Controls are fluid
    + The combat mechanism is quite refreshing and creative
    + A lot of easter eggs that contribute to world-building.
    + As of now, I haven't found anything sloppy or unreasonable with worldbuilding. Most situations ingame are reasonable.
    + Interesting details (such as dialogue) that gives a deeper understanding about the motives of certain characters (I won't spoil this part)

    Negatives:
    - Combat is a bit too easy. The bullet hell is overly simplified and not really interesting enough. There is also a lack of higher difficulty modes, forcing those looking for a challenge onto the darker routes (which is why I quit playing). This is not good for the game's replayability.
    - The theme of mercy and pacifism gradually loses its charm gameplay-wise. Each enemy can be spared by a set method, and after you figure it out, all you need to do is to repeat what you did again and again. It is fun for the first time, but after maybe 2 playthroughs, it becomes pretty bland and robs you of any incentive to spare NPCs. This impacts the game's replayability.

    Neutral Aspects:
    ~ The visual style is unique and quirky, and quite simplified. I'm not sure whether this is a good thing.
    ~ A lot of content left intentionally unexplained. Good for fan speculations and fanmade content, but perhaps a little bit confusing......?

    Overall:
    Solid and worth its price, and wonderful for the first few runs until you get the perfect ending. The mechanisms are sufficient to support the game. The flaws, while significant, are not likely to impact players who simply want to enjoy the story.

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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like the retro graphic and number of endings. You can make a good ending, where everyone is on the surface. You can make GENOCIDE ending where you... KILL EVERYONE AND ERASE THE WORLD!!! You can make the dog king... I mean, this is cool game. Expand

    Undertale is a good example of how to make a simple game new and unique, with its story telling and locations to its masterpiece of a soundtrack.

However the enemies and bosses really work out with the battle system it’s just that it might be hard for some, but oh man the amount of amazing characters you meet in this game is outstanding for a simple indie game. 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

    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.)

    Definitely one of my favorites games of all time. A charming RPG that contains bullet hell mechanics and one of the most varied and beautiful OST I have listen to in my life. The story is lovely, both happy and depresive. For some reason Asriel has become my favorite character, and his theme song Hopes And Dreams too

    This game brought me so many emotions back when i first played it. It is the very culmination of how far can a lone developer can go. Everything and everyone has a personality in it. The soundtrack is beautiful, no comment on that. The thing i like the most about it is how suddenly it can go from stupidly silly to edgier than an edgelord.

To me, this is what makes this game shine, other than stellar writing and character development. You can actually feel really bad about murdering any enemy in this game. This is how affectionate you can get. One of my favourite games of all time, hands down. Expand

    Undertale: Amazing atmosphere, the characters who makes themselfs important for you, epic musics which makes your mood exactly like atmosphere, revolutionary martial mechanics.

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..

    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.
