    This is a truly awful game. The story is boring, and while it implies that it's leading up to a twist said twist never actually happens. The characters are either bland and two-dimensional or so in-your-face annoying that it made me want to stop playing. The music and sound effects were fine, but nothing special. The combat was unique, but it quickly turned into a bullet-hell game,This is a truly awful game. The story is boring, and while it implies that it's leading up to a twist said twist never actually happens. The characters are either bland and two-dimensional or so in-your-face annoying that it made me want to stop playing. The music and sound effects were fine, but nothing special. The combat was unique, but it quickly turned into a bullet-hell game, which I'm not a huge fan of, causing the combat to lose any of the charm that it might have otherwise had.

    The only positive I can say about the game is a minor one in that it offered the Mercy system (a way to spare enemies rather than killing them). At first glance, this seemed like a really cool feature, but in the end, it was just a different name for a skill system like so many other games. In both systems you end up having to memorize what works for each type of enemy and what doesn't, so it doesn't really matter if you want to call that menu option Fireball or Hug.

    Maybe without the hype I'd heard about this game since day one I would have enjoyed it more, but as is it was a complete waste of my time and I will definitely never be going back to see the different endings.    … Expand

    From its charismatic characters and stupendous story to its meaningful gameplay and incredible soundtrack, Undertale on Xbox is a titanic accomplishment that not only ignores the ideas of what makes a video game, but redefines them.

    Undertale is still an innovative and refreshing videogame, with a hidden depth within a fake simplicity that it's communicated in a very effective way thanks to the gameplay. With its particular way to destroy the fourth wall, Undertale makes us the main character in a creepy but incredible way and makes us see that our decisions truly have consequences. Six years later, Toby Fox's masterpiece keeps being a must-be for any player and its release on Xbox One is, without a doubt, something to celebrate.

    An RPG that proved that different games could be a huge success. Undertale manages to retain all the charm that made it special long ago, with a deep lore and a unique way of handling thing that will keep you playing until the end.
