    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!

    Mediocre and over-rated game, but I would recommend it if you can get it cheap (under $5).
    Pros:
    -fun quirky story
    -doesn't take itself too seriously
    -awesome music
    Cons:
    -very short, its over before you know it
    -"combat" system, or lack there-of
    Pick it up for cheap if you want to finish it in a day, but I can think of a lot of games I'd rather play over this

    I didn't realise how controversial Undertale was until I looked up reviews after playing it. Undertale frequently appears on top 10 lists of games you must play, so 5 years late to the game I decided to take the plunge.

I'll    I didn't realise how controversial Undertale was until I looked up reviews after playing it. Undertale frequently appears on top 10 lists of games you must play, so 5 years late to the game I decided to take the plunge.

    If I was to sum up UT, it would be that it is quite innovative and quite irritating. I like that it thinks outside the box but it lacks consistent execution. I'll elaborate below.

    UT's graphics are part of a niche in modern games that like to use retro graphics. For the purposes of the game, these graphics serve pretty well. I like the retro feel and the graphics lend themselves well to the gameplay style and humour. The downside of retro graphics is that repetition can set in quickly. UT tries to navigate this with a variety of environments with mixed success. It's saving grace is probably that it's a relatively short game although I still felt it outstayed its welcome.

    The story of UT is where things become very interesting. The premise is essentially escaping an elaborate dungeon, but there are tons of eccentric and quirky characters along the way. The problem with this is that when everyone is a bit bonkers the humour and wit wear thin fairly quickly. There are parts of the game where you are constantly pestered with irrelevant monologues that started to irritate me rather interest me. The prevalence of quirky characters comes across as trying too hard, like stepping into a hipster cafe where everyone tries so hard to look different but ends up looking the same because they're all so obscure.

    The gameplay of UT is where I found myself most interested. Rather than a typical turn-based approach, I liked the interactivity of moving the heart to avoid attacks. Again however, this became very irritating towards the end to the point that I didn't even finish the final two bosses as their attacks were just too cheap.

    In addition to the above, UT prides itself on the alternate methods of engaging enemies, some of which can avoid battle altogether. The problem with this is you likely need a walkthrough in order to achieve non-combative play-throughs, or at least that's what I needed. In hindsight, i found the game much more enjoyable when I gave up on pacifism and just fought through everything like a normal RPG. I think that speaks volumes in itself, or just shows my own preference for violence and simplicity. Either way, this innovative approach to battle was just a bit too esoteric for my liking.

    Overall, I find Undertale falls somewhere between innovative and pretentious. What shocked me more than anything was discovering the animosity between people discussing the game, What this means is that you really need to play the game for yourself and I am glad to finally know that it's just not for me. I got it on sale for lie £7 and I don't think it was really worth that much, so look out for a price drop if you want to try it, and avoid reading what anyone else says about it until you've tried it.    … Expand

    The gameplay can be slow at times, but this game has the best story I have ever seen in a game. I've literally never seen a game with a better story than this one. Also the music is great since Toby Fox is an amazing composer. Playing this game is definitely worth your time, especially for only $15.

It might appeal to an 8 yr old in some way as kids don't have the same standards, but, seriously, how is this so well regarded it blows my mind.

    And some will find the visuals charming in a throwback way that relives the golden age of the Japanese developed RPG in the 90's or something. To others they're just kind of ... eh. My advice is to avoid this one.    … Expand

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.… Expand

    I found this game enjoyable but certainly not unforgettable.

    On the positive side, there are some very funny elements to the story and characters. I enjoy the way the battles work - very new and creative. I like the way you can do more than just constantly fight - you can talk to your opponents and even do a fully passive run if desired. The soundtrack is also really good.

    Negatives for me were that it was very linear. I'm not someone who loves massive open worlds, but this all felt a bit too constricted compared to a classic like Earthbound. There was rarely any point revisiting previous areas so it just felt like you're just on one long slog to the end. I also found a lot of the puzzles quite easy which is a shame, as the concepts were good. The levelling and weapon/armour/money systems are very restrictive. Again - I wouldn't want them to be too overboard in a game like this, but they were so simplistic it hardly felt like they matter.

    Overall I'm happy I bought it and spent ~6 hours playing through, but it's certainly not one that will go down as anything more than average.    … Expand

    Undertale boasts an amazing collection of OSTS and a very memorable set of characters. It's a short game that captured me every step of the way. It's definitely one of the most unique games that I've played in a while, with its high moments being one of the best moments in my gaming experience.

    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.
