    This game is amazing, and is probably the only RPG I've ever enjoyed. I wanted to give it a 10, but it's not on the same level as BOTW and RDR2 :)

    This is the adult content that you missed in all your favorite games about zombies or orcs. In undertale you will find one of the best minds behind the game.

    Just don't listen to the bad reviews (most of them), it's tragic people vote this game a 0/10 only because they don't like it being so popular.
    It's important to distinguish rational with non-rational reviews.
    Anyways here's my review: +well written characters with each one having it's own theme +speaking of themes, overwhelming music +dog +the core mechanic: Killing has it's

    A timeless masterpiece. So many amazing characters and moments. 3 distinct and different play throughs with unique encounters in all of them. Combat is funny and different to a normal JRPG. Amazing soundtrack as well.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best rpg ever introduces unique mechanics with many endings based on who you killed who you spared and how many you killed with the all-time greatest boss and ending I cry every time Frisk hugs Asriel and says goodbye. If you know how to you can start a pacifist or genocide run with neutral being the easiest. (Please start with that) The Asriel Dreemur fight alone is worth 20 $ Expand

    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.

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 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

    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.

    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.

    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 also is way more intelligent than it has any right to be and many of the subversions work exceptionally well. It's a variety show that keeps you hooked with the presentation and personality.

It also is way more intelligent than it has any right to be and many of the subversions work exceptionally well. It's a variety show that keeps you hooked with the presentation and personality. 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

    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.

    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,

    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

    It's masterful, and practically unique - which is just about the best way to describe the game as a whole. [Nov 2017, p.88]
  2. Undertale is the rare RPG that makes you feel tons of different emotions.

    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.
