    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    Incredible game. The graphics, although they were 8-bit, expressed a lot, and the unique battle system was just genius!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a gaming masterpiece. The gameplay is fun and the combat system allows you to spare or fight your enemies, modifing the outcome of your ending. The story is amazing and the characters never feel boring or unlikely. The soundtrack is catchy and moving. What more can I say? A 10/10 game indeed.… Expand

    This game is fantastic. Perfect music,a bit of humuor, incredible characters, etc. Maybe the story isnt very elaborated but it is an extremely enjoyable game and very fun. Would love a second version of the game or a extended one,

    A charming and adorable story. Gameplay is surprisingly addictive and I love how the game subtly adjusts to your decisions. Soundtrack is killed and old-school graphics carry a lot of charm anyways.

    Amo esse jogo. Marcou a minha infância.
    Nunca consegui passar da undyne no modo genocida. É um jogo muito desafiador e marcante.
    Até hoje escuto as soundtracks desse jogo, ele deve ter as melhores músicas do que qualquer outro jogo que eu já tenha jogado.

    This game is charm distilled into its purest form. The game is just oozing personality in every single area. From the characters, menus, mechanics and music.

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.

    Is Undertale for everyone? No, no it's not. Undertale has some of the most memorable, most well written characters and a killer soundtrack. It's an interesting commentary on how games are played, specifically RPGs, where monsters are no more than experience fodder. The gameplay is pretty good, with turn-based commands being warped and twisted in numerous ways. It is definitely worth takingIs Undertale for everyone? No, no it's not.

The gameplay is pretty good, with turn-based commands being warped and twisted in numerous ways. It is definitely worth taking a look, since it's cheap, and since it's also short, give it a playthrough. However, DO NOT do a genocide run, as it removes everything fun about the game (part of that commentary on how we play games I mentioned earlier).… Expand

    Despite its immense simplicity, this game packs a punch. It's got super fun characters, an absolute banger of a soundtrack, a surprisingly sweet story (depending on what path you take) and is just a lot of fun. I'm always impressed by the complexity the story can have depending on how you decide to play. Also, given that this was made by one dude, it's insanely impressive.

    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.

    It's masterful, and practically unique - which is just about the best way to describe the game as a whole. [Nov 2017, p.88]

    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.
