A near perfect 9.999999/10. The only way it could've been better is if it never ended.

A relatively simple combat system, with an interesting dodging mechanic tied to a - at first glance - no more than easy to make art style may leave passerbys assuming this is yet another half-baked indie game, but it is so much more than that.

Having beaten one of the relatively short 10 hour playthroughs, the game had left me yearning for more. I haven't played a game that has impacted me in such a way in a long time, and even fewer games have made me feel bad for even thinking about taking the easier and shorter route.
From Toriel the "goat mom" to sans and Papyrus' infamous bad jokes, Toby Fox has created memorable characters that feel more alive than just pixels on a screen. A certain flower, lesser dogs and an angry fish girl; they each react differently to your decisions and actions, which are permanent and have a lasting effect on the world you inhabit in the game. Morals are a large part of the story, and at some point, you have to make a choice.
Whether you make a good one or a bad one, is up to you.

Whatever you do - whether you have an inkling of empathy or not - play this game. I am certain you will enjoy it.

...and, don't forget.
Be filled....with DETERMINATION.

"may leave passerbys assuming this is yet another half-baked indie game"
I had the same thought and decided that instead of paying for it I would just watch it on youtube. I will never again watch a game on youtube. :steamsad:

A fanfic is a story that a fan makes that takes place in an already exesting story, Undertale is an origanal product.
I personally liked the bullit hell system.
Pixle art does not equal lazy, Toby had to place each pixle in the game to make the characters, backgrounds and set pieces.
A new game is something that is released reacently, Undertale was released in 2015 and it's 2016.
Yes it is named Undertale
Why does selling the game for 10 dollers make it a bad game?
Undertale is personally my favorit game but if you dont like it thats perfictly fine, we cant all like the same thing.

@justtim013 That's kinda the point of it. You're supposed to regret what you did.
