    Incredible game. The graphics, although they were 8-bit, expressed a lot, and the unique battle system was just genius!
    I love the tutorial character a lot, he really explained a lot and wasn’t nightmare fuel at all! ;)
    I don’t like the naming (only 6 characters!) the non mutable music can get annoying at times too. Otherwise, this was really good for an 11 dollar game! Favorite

It's really no surprise that so many people love this game. My biggest criticism is how easy the game can be on pacifist runs without self imposed challenges. The healing system is just way too forgiving and the game would have been better with some kind of hard difficulty selection for those of us that wanted a little bit more from the pacifist playthrough Expand

    No complaints here. Love this game. It's funny, the music goes hard af, the characters are lovable, the gameplay is simple but it works. It's a very meta game. It knows what you did and when you did it. And if you decide to be an **** and kill someone it guilt trips you very hard. Also the final boss fight in the genocide route, sheeeeeeeeesh.

    Playing this game was a solid experience. I adore the music and the retro style. Every character is written with care and love. The unpredictable nature of Undertale in conjuction with its humour, greatly enhcanced the experience. My only complaint is that enemy encounters felt a bit lackluster.

    Hay combates bastante jodidos, que son necesarios, pero hay algunos que se hacen hiper pesados de más, y para mí, interrumpen demasiado el ritmo del juego.
    El factor RPG, Pokémon, de tocarte las narices todo el rato, muy bien hecho, el juego es un tremendo hijo de puta vaya.
    El final se puede hacer algo confuso, no me pega demasiado, es algo absurdo, me parece que no está a la altura del resto del juego.
    El juego es bueno, lo es, es un muy buen juego, pero creo que su comunidad lo ha hecho ser más de lo que es, al final acaba siendo de pedantes.

    Beautiful story, nothing quite like it. About to do my second play through. Fantastic soundtrack too. Very impressive from a single developer. I'll say that you can't really go in blind since most people doing that will probably not know that you absolutely MUST do the pacifist route to get by FAR the best ending.
    As for the PS4 version: it's by far the easiest platinum I've ever gotten.

Sin embargo el juego vende por ser considerado un RPG lo cual derechamente no es, no hay estrategias, razas, turnos o modalidades de combate en las que tengas que considerar una cantidad amplia de variables para vencer, solo mantiene de este género la opción de equipar objetos e items para potenciar a nuestro personaje, mas bien, Undertale parece una especie de novela visual llena de diálogos mezcladas con arcade (lo que vendría siendo el combate). En síntesis, es un juego bastante bueno, uno de los mejores que he jugado, pero no es un RPG, además de que el fandom es intragable, en fin, le doy un 9, solo cambiaría lo del RPG y añadiría algo mas de exploracion de mapas.

This game takes even the concept of gaming itself and flips it on it's head. Reaching out the screen to question you as a gamer and why you do what you do. The combat is not focused on typical RPG strategy, but more on the bullet hell action and thinking outside the box. (sometimes literally!)
    The music on the surface has a 90's SNES flair, but with a more built feel. Like remastered SNES music. After you finish the game, you could hear the tracks again and immediately feel the emotions again. The music can be fun and silly, epic and powerful, and even sad or somber.
    The graphics and UI are very reminiscent of Earthbound. The pixel art is deliberately dated looking, but passionately conceptualized.
    This game is not your mainstream RPG and it's not your dad's RPG. However it can appeal to all kinds of gamers. The hardcore crowd looking for over the top action won't find that here. This game can get intense, but it is by no means an "action" game.
    It's hard to put into words how unique and lovable this game is, but I recommend it to anyone. Try it for sure, but just know that the further you play, the more you realize what is REALLY going on here. I I guarantee you would love it as much as I have!
    Don't listen to these negative reviewers. They only followed the hype and it sounds like they did not understand what this was at all. It sounds like they just went in for combat and not using any of the nuances to progress. They were looking for something that they expected and didn't get. They are hating it for the game's intended features. Like going to an Italian restaurant when you hate tomato sauce.
    If you are looking for a lovable JRPG with a deliberate retro style and love for the JRPG, then you are in the right place. If you are looking for Skyrim, Final Fantasy XV, or Witcher III, then you are in the WRONG place.

Styled and influenced mainly by 1989’s JRPG Mother, Undertale takes you on a fun, funny, bizarre and at times challenging adventure through a monster filled underworld. Full of unique and interesting characters who are complimented by hilarious dialogue; the story draws you in, allowing you to move beyond the 16 bit style graphics and lose yourself in your imagination.
    The art style is basic but very deliberately basic as a love letter to the golden era of gaming and classic role playing games.
    The world is nostalgic and fun to explore. The combat system is unique and fun. You can either fight enemies or choose to spare them by engaging in witty dialog. When you are attacked you must control a heart (representing your soul) through a series of bullet hell, platforming, dodging senarios which get more and more insane as the game progresses.
    Boss fights stand out as the most interesting and challenging parts of the game. These include battling against Doggos, Giant spiders, skeletons, Ghosts, killer robots and heroic warriors. Boss fights are made even more awesome by the fantastic individual boss theme that plays during battle. The music is simply amazing in the game and will stay with you long after you’ve completed the game.
    The soundtrack adds to the depth of the game and conveys sadness, joy, fun and adventure, enhancing each scenario it is used for.
    The game is around 8 hours long which leaves you wanting more, this encourages further play-trough’s to get alternative endings.
    If you haven’t played Undertale yet, go play it! And see what you’re missing out on!

    Non ci sono parole, o, almeno, io non riesco a trovarne, che riescano a dare un' idea esaustiva di quanto geniale e stupefacente sia a mio parere questo gioco.
    Ho sentito per la prima volta parlare di Undertale meno di un anno fa, mentre intrattenevo una normale conversazione con mia cugina. Curioso di provare questo gioco, presentatomi come:" Un abbattitore della quarta parete di prima classe", lo scaricai.
    Ammetto che la prima ora circa di gameplay non mi coinvolse: trovavo le musiche delle Rovine ripetitive e fastidiose, con delle meccaniche di combattimento interessanti ma poco sfruttate.

    Poi iniziai a progredire durante il gioco.

    Mano a mano che proseguivo, iniziavo ad imbattermi in personaggi sempre più interessanti e ben caratterizzati, ambientazioni meraviglianti dalla meraviglia accresciuta proprio dalla risoluzione grafica che Fox ha attribuito al gioco. Iniziai ad apprezzare una comicità arguta, una colonna sonora a dir poco armoniosa, Compreso tutto, credo che nell'istante immediatamente precedente al "finale", ovvero subito dopo la bossfight alla fine delle Hotland, avrei dato a questo gioco un 7.5, forse un 8, in quanto era stata un esperienza di gioco piacevole, con combattimenti ardui ed ingegnosi. Ma solo dopo, dopo avere terminato la trama, dopo il mio primo playtrough, toccai con mano l'effettivo potenziale di questo gioco, portante una massima di vita estremamente positiva e quantomai veritiera: le nostre azioni, anche se videogiochi estremamente violenti dove avvengono stragi e carneficine per mano di noi giocatori senza che nessuno batta un ciglio, hanno delle conseguenze.
    Il fatto che sia possibile ottenere molteplici finali in base al nostro comportamento nei confronti degli NPC, ai quali dopo numerose partite ci si affezionerà in un modo assolutamente unico, è stupefacentemente coinvolgente.
    Non scendo minimamente nei dettagli per fare in modo da non rovinare a nessuno questo Must-Play, dico solamente che vale tutti i soldi spesi per acquistarlo non solo per il gioco in sé, ma per l'infinito potenziale speculativo che sta dietro alla trama principale su alcuni temi: teorie, personaggi enigmatici, eventi non ben specificati...
    Non fatevi ingannare dalla morbosità del fandom di questo gioco, compratelo, e vi migliorerà la vita.

    The last time I received such pleasure was in 1989, in the USSR, when I asked the committee for the game Mother from Japan, since I knew the language.
    Thank you so much Toby Fox, he brought me back to my childhood.

    I wouldn't say this game is "#2 Best PS4 Game of 2017" by any means. At least it was topped by Persona 5, a game deserving of a top spot. I'm going to keep it short and sweet. This is a great game, with fun mechanics, music, characters, and more. It can either be a typical RPG, going the neutral route, a nice change of pace, the pacifist route, or absolute hell, the genocide route.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. On September 15 2015 the hit indie sensation “Undertale” was released by Toby Fox onto the PC platform “Steam” where it quickly grew in popularity and fandom. However by April 2016 the game seemed to have died out in popularity. Today people will tell you the game is complete garbage. But how good was the game? To answer I played through the game 3 times (one for each route) to see just how good or bad this game really is.

    When I first started the game I thought the lore was interesting: a world where humans and monsters once lived together but where the monsters were banished after a war in which the opposing kings lost their sons. I was intrigued by the art style chosen, an 8-bit sprite overworld, and during the dialogue and battle sequences a much more detailed (albeit still 8-bit) sprite, which looks absolutely gorgeous when animated. The tutorial is a bit bland, but the game kicks into high gear when the first boss fight (against the tutorial character conveniently named Toriel) If you kill her, you can go for one of 3 paths. The genocide route: the hardest path (It took me 1 hr and 23 mins to kill the final boss “Sans”) in which you kill every single monster programmed into the game. In Undertale unlike other games like pokemon, there are a finite number of monsters to kill. There is also a “Neutral” path, where players can kill as they please unlocking a different ending depending on the people they kill. And if you spare Toriel you can try for a pacifist route in which you don’t kill ANYTHING. If you beat the game in this fashion, you unlock a happy ending filled with all the monsters enjoying the sunshine for the first time in hundreds of years.

    Usually I despise monotonous 8-bit video game music, but I loved the Undertale soundtrack, it is mostly a fusion of 8-bit and other real forms of music like bebop, rock, and classical. It compliments the aesthetic perfectly and opts you to capture the moment of the game and just listen for a bit. The only thing I really didn’t like about this game is what remains of the fandom. The fandom of most things is bad enough, but Undertale takes the case with bad fan art and OC’s. If you say ANYTHING bad about the game like “I think the overworld art could have been done a lot better”. They will swarm you like wasps telling you how Undertale is a masterpiece and could do no wrong. Although this is honestly all I could come up with that was negative about this game.
    In all honesty the reason this game is no longer popular is because the fandom killed it. Butt I believe if the fandom wasn’t so bad, it would be held as a classic. I have to give the game 8 stars out of 10. The stunning visuals, and great gameplay, coupled with a stellar soundtrack, and astounding story. However the fandom keeps this game from the 10/10 it truly deserves.

    You just need enough money for the 15 Dognation Trophies (you can quit the game after getting the last Dognation trophy, keeping your money on your saved game) and to REACH the final area - you don't even have to enter it.
    They should have locked at least one trophy against each completion imo but trophy hunters will at least be happy.

It's a heartfelt adventure that messes with you're emotions and head. The soundtrack is also fantastic.

    A surprisingly heartfelt game with a quirky sense of humour. It's pretty much a masterclass in storytelling; drip feeding bits here and there until it all comes together in the conclusion.

    I liked the simplicity of the combat system, and how interactions within them ultimately affected the possible outcomes. Also appreciated the generally low difficulty, which made it very easy to focus

    Don't go into this expecting anything seriously taxing, and keep in mind that some elements (like the early puzzles) are deliberately skewed for comedic value. If it's not your type of humour you'll probably find the game a little bland.

    Despite the fact that Undertale didn't tick all my boxes, it was still an enjoyable game. Its visuals and music brought to mind some of my most cherished memories from my formative years, and are top-notch even for games that try to evoke that retro vibe. Its narrative is tongue-in-cheek and consistantly sends surprises the player's way. The game excels at asking players to enjoy it in ways that are incongruous with the traditional way RPGs are designed. Unfortunately, those looking for a more traditional experience may feel short-changed here. The lion's share of the game's character, lore, and emotional impact is experienced by challenging yourself to play the entire game in a completely different fashion.
