It’s like a traditional turn-based RPG combat system only, well, those expectations all went screaming out that window I mentioned earlier. Like, you can hug your way through the entire affair!Īnd you can always just reload a save if you screw up, right?Īnyhoo, combat mechanics are… it’s hard to describe. See, Undertale is an RPG where you can beat the whole damn thing without killing anyone! Sure, you can do the traditional “kill indiscriminately” thing, but that’s just one solution. You’ll encounter all sorts of wacky, zany characters and monsters, puzzles, traditional RPG-type environments… loaded with obstacles standing between you and the finish line.Īnd it’s up to you decide how you’re going to approach the aforementioned zany characters and monsters. Thus begins your six, seven, or eight hour (initial) journey into Undertale. Then five minutes pass and all your expectations just sort of fly out the proverbial window screaming, never to return. Now you have to get yourself back to the sunny, human-friendly overworld.įairly standard so far, complete with the pretty concept art cutscenes and humdrum hero origin tale. You play as a tiny, gender-neutral child with bad fashion sense who falls down a mountain into a cavernous underworld filled with all sorts of fantastical monsters – all of whom have been banished there after losing a war with humankind. It’s challenging but surmountable, given a little skill and a whole lot of determination.Īnd it’s also the most holy game in, well, a very long time, in an entirely unique way! Sure, you can compare it to Metal Gear’s Psycho Mantis or Eternal Darkness’ sanity meter effects, though that won’t do Undertale’s special, thoughtful mechanics justice. It’s the most genuinely heartwarming (and incredibly dark) game in, well, a very long time. It’s the funniest, most well-written game in, well, a very long time. It’s the best RPG in a year of amazing RPG releases. Undertale is a GOTY contender, indie or otherwise. The year isn’t out and there are some huge releases yet to come, but that being said… Hero? Villain? Or something wholly other? I’m just sort of rambling and gushing because there’s so much to say about Undertale… and I can’t SAY anything without spoiling the experience for you!īuy this game, don’t watch anything on YouTube about it, don’t read the Undertale subreddit or any wikis, don’t even read this review (though I’ve avoided spoilers, of course) – just seal yourself into a room with a computer and some kind of makeshift toilet, play it to completion, clean yourself for the love of God, and come back.
This is a tough one to write, not at all like my usual reviews. Wether you enjoy the story mode, or mess around in one of the other modes, you are almost guaranteed to have a good time! My favourite weapon was a frog with a hat… That’d run around until he explodes.Īn awesomely fun platformer with a perfect sense of humor you just have to give a try. There’s an iceblockcannon that, well, turns things into iceblocks. The downside is that they can spread the fire. You can also buy weapons: There’s a firebolt that sets monsters, and friends, on fire.
There are a LOT of ways to customise your character: With the gems you collect in the levels you can buy heads in a certain shape, though it’s always a surprise how the head you get will look like. and there’s no game-over, you don’t have to feel guilty about it either: There’s no consequence whatsoever, except that they have to run back from whatever the last safepoint was. Seeing most levels don’t have a time limit. On normal modes you can activate checkpoints and have an infinite amount of lives… You can also push other people around, annoy them by trapping and, well, killing them.Įspecially when you’re also talking on teamspeak (For me the in-game voicechat had some kind of annoying echo) you sometimes can’t stop laughing due to failing/seeing the other fail, push them off once they finally make it, etc. I did enjoy the solo mode, but seeing a friend gifted this to me so we could play together I’ve mostly played co-op with him, and I don’t regret it at all: We had a blast!~
You can either play this solo or in co-op mode with up to 3 friends. The narrator with all of it’s sarcastic comments and humor often cheered me up.

The goal is to free Hatty Hattington by performing your way through the theatre. You and your friends get stranded, and somehow you end up being imprisoned in a theatre by a bunch of cats. BattleBlock Theatre is a bright looking, challenging 2D platformer that doesn’t take itself to serious.
