Why is Undertale so popular?

[Dicey]

If anyone (without opening pandora's box) can help me on this question, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The game presents the player with many different paths to take for a lot of replayability which makes the game worthwhile. I enjoy all the stories, and all the characters as well. The soundtrack is also really good, and I sometimes listen to a song every now and then just because i like it so much.

The humor is incredibly funny, at least for me.
The characters are awesome, very different and lovable.
There is a lot of content to enjoy : many dialogues lines (like with the phone) or ways to finish the game.
It's very creative in its gameplay and boss fights.
It's overall full of very good ideas.
And the music is perfect.

Good question.
Unfortunately no good answer.

[Alex ☆ Sneaky]

These Monsters are sooo friendly! And that makes some people happy (well, it makes me Happy)

Many people found this game fun, then Youtubers found out about it, and it exploded in General, kinda like Minecraft, but except that actually has a lot more gameplay.

It's "good" because it's "good", that's kinda subjective and has absolutely no arguments.

As for friendly characters, I wouldn't agree even if they don't deliberately try to murder you.

What the ♥♥♥♥ is wrong with you?

Literally every single comment I've seen you post makes crazy assumptions about oher games making this one look bad!

First, FNAF
Then, I don't remember, Minecraft or something
Now this?

COD has nothing to do with Undertale. Please, just stop being so annoying.

People love assuming.

This is the first game ever made where a developer lodged their entire head into their ass. It was so exciting that everyone had to see.

Maybe for someone without any game experience at all.

Undertale's gameplay is literally a poorly copy of bullet hell game with apparently "RPG" aspect even though if you earn a level you are considered a monster, and most items don't do nothing other than heal. Undertale's gameplay is horrible and very poorly made and is saved by it's good story and character interaction (Except for Sans, which is my least favorite character for obvious reasons: Underdeveloped, edgy, and overrated.)

Err.. Sorry, but it is very creative, precisely because it is not supposed to be a bullet hell. It is supposed to be an ultra basic RPG, in a way similar to Earthbound, but it has a dodging system. Seriously, it has nothing to do with a regular bullet hell : each attack is unique, included in the game in a fitting way, and not just a bunch of spaceships and bullets and patterns to dodge.
The "Act" and "Mercy" buttons are something that few games ever did before. You don't even shoot things. RPGs and Shoot them up are famous genres, but a mix between the two of them is, in my opinion, a new concept.
Plus, some of the bosses actually change the way you control your SOUL in a very radical way (say, Papyrus or Undyne), and thsi renews the gameplay.
