If you’re a fan of old school nes/snes games this will feel like a game from that era. I like that this game plays with the idea of morality in a unique way. I see why it’s often credited as one of the best games of all time.

Not what I was expecting, i must have played the game wrong because final boss is ridiculous

Undertale is a short RPG about a child who falls into the underworld and along the way meets a lot of quirky and interesting “monsters” and characters. Without spoiling further, it’s a short RPG, with art styled in 8 bit format. Comes with an art booklet inside which was a cool bonus
RodG –
Excellent game that my son bought. He has found it challenging and fun.

Quirky little RPG which was originally released on the PS Vita and was later ported to the Switch. It’s similar to traditional turn based RPG’s with a few fun twists to it.

I first played Undertale when the game first released back in 2015. The emotional rollercoaster this game gives you as you adventure in a pixelated world meeting a large diversity of monster personalities is truly one of a kind. Now that the game is several years old, I decided to buy it again for the switch and experience it all over again. If you haven’t played the game yet, go in with no spoilers. You won’t regret it.

There’s some switch exclusive features here, but I would recomend the PC format if you prefer it that way

very fun game; reminds me of old-school jrpg like EarthBound
HarcortW –
It’s a fun throwback. Got it as a goof for my 11 year old and he thinks it’s great. Not a graphics heavy game but fun nostalgia.

Introduction:
Undertale, an indie RPG developed by Toby Fox, presents a truly unique and emotionally charged gaming experience. Combining clever gameplay mechanics, a captivating narrative, and memorable characters, this game has captured the hearts of players worldwide. With its thought-provoking themes, player choices that truly matter, and a remarkable soundtrack, Undertale stands as a testament to the power of indie gaming.
Gameplay (9/10):
Undertale offers a refreshing twist on traditional turn-based combat. Players have the option to engage in battles or take a more pacifist route, resolving conflicts through negotiation and mercy. This innovative “bullet hell” combat system keeps players on their toes, requiring both quick reflexes and strategic decision-making. Every encounter presents an opportunity to build relationships or test your resolve, offering a sense of agency rarely seen in RPGs.
Story and Characters (10/10):
The narrative of Undertale weaves a rich tapestry of themes, exploring topics like morality, friendship, and the consequences of one’s actions. It tells the story of a child who falls into the Underground, a world inhabited by monsters, and their journey to find a way back home. The game presents a cast of diverse and endearing characters, each with their own quirks and motivations. Memorable figures like Sans, Papyrus, and Toriel leave a lasting impression, making the player’s choices and interactions all the more impactful.
Visuals and Sound (8/10):
Visually, Undertale embraces a retro-inspired pixel art style that pays homage to classic RPGs. The charming character designs, expressive animations, and creative enemy encounters make the game visually appealing despite its simple aesthetics. However, the true standout is the game’s soundtrack, composed by Toby Fox himself. The music perfectly captures the mood and atmosphere of each scene, with tracks that range from hauntingly beautiful to adrenaline-pumping, elevating the emotional impact of the game.
Player Choices and Consequences (10/10):
Undertale’s most remarkable aspect is the way it handles player choices. Every decision made, whether in combat or during interactions, has consequences that ripple throughout the game. These choices extend beyond simple morality, affecting the story, characters’ fates, and even subsequent playthroughs. The game encourages players to think critically, challenging preconceived notions and offering a profound sense of agency and responsibility.
Replay Value (9/10):
Undertale boasts exceptional replay value due to its branching paths and multiple endings. Exploring different playstyles, making different choices, and experiencing the consequences firsthand provide a fresh perspective on the game’s narrative and characters. Each playthrough unravels new layers of the story, ensuring that even after completing the game once, there is still more to discover and contemplate.
Conclusion:
Undertale is a masterpiece that defies conventions, delivering an emotionally charged and thought-provoking experience. Its innovative gameplay mechanics, impactful storytelling, and unforgettable characters create a narrative journey that resonates deeply with players. The game’s ability to challenge players’ moral compasses and question the nature of choice sets it apart as a truly unique gem in the RPG genre. Whether you seek engaging gameplay, profound storytelling, or an exploration of the human condition, Undertale is an absolute must-play that will leave an indelible mark on your gaming journey.

I had some very emotional experiences playing this game. Plus, the workers who got me the game in-store had a complication, but handled it very cordially and professionally. That definitely added to the experience.

Bigboi –
Interesting game concept, definitely had me invested from start to finish. I feel it holds up to the praise it’s received thus far. Not a game you’re going to invest months or even weeks into, but a good title to experience for sure.

Great game! Came perfectly! And very fsst shipping!

I am extremely satisfied with this purchase. Not only was the price great, but it also arrived sooner than projected. Also and I can’t stress this enough, you guys actually had protective packaging for the item.
I have been collecting certain media for a while now. I’ve done a lot of shopping with Amazon and almost all of the collectible items I purchased were sent without any padding or protection. They’ve shown me they don’t care, as a result they’ve lost my business. I’ve moved on to BestBuy now.
