Now, while everyone else seems enamored by the fantastic Fallout 4 and the somewhat dissapointing Star Wars Battlefront, I recently played a fantastic game that will forever hold a place in my heart.
Undertale, simply put, is the best game I have played since Dark Souls. For those of you who know my Dark Souls fanaticism, you will see that Undertale has some merit.
Undertake is a whimsical indie game created by Toby Fox, inspired heavily by Earthbound, and created for the PC. The game at the moment does not cost much, and is very much worth the buy, and here is why.
Undertale, while being somewhat short game compared to most games these days, with an average play through taking roughly five hours, this game is packed with excellent content and depth. Every meticulously crafted bit of the game had wit and charm packed into it, with a colorful cast of characters that the game made me feel connected to. These well-defined and developed characters have a certain depth and personality that really drive the story of Undertale, which I honestly refuse to spoil for anyone. Furthermore, your actions have a definitive effect on the game world around you, and you will see the aftereffects of your actions reflected in how the story plays out, or how some characters react to things. The actions that affect the world most come in how you deal with enemies; whether you kill them or not.
What's more, the game soundtrack is superb, and I caught myself humming the tunes far after the game was over. In fact, one of the tunes is stuck in my head right now. It really drives the game home, and sucks you into its world. I would recommend tracks from the game, but that would spoil things for you all as well unfortunately.
I created this thread for the sole purpose of spreading the word about this downright beautiful game. This game, honestly, has effected me, and no game has done that since Dark Souls. Give this game a shot, and you might be surprised!

Lol for the last few hours I've been trying to kill Sans and I've only gotten him twice. BASTARD! XD Anyway Undertale is probably my favorite game from 2015(but I haven't gotten FO4 yet so....) I love every route in the game, and every character. I've never seen a better crafted story! (Telltale, eat your heart out)

Edited by zadus2: 12/25/2015 2:15:41 AM[spoiler] I haven't even played this game, but I feel emotionally scarred by it. I've watched videos of playthroughs and read the plot synopsis and I feel like even the "happy" ending is really really sad, simply because of what happens to asriel. I understand that the point of the whole game is basically to free asriel and the rest of the underground from chara's dark influence, and in the end asriel is back to his normal, compassionate self, but right afterwards he's doomed to live as a flower again, alone, for the rest of his life. Logically, if you are the caring protagonist, you would do something to try and ask asriel to come with you, even if he has to live as a flower the rest of his life. He may even be immortal as a flower, in which case that's even worse! It's gotten to the point where I wished I had never heard of the game, since I don't like feeling sad. It just doesn't make sense for the protagonist to go on his merry way and forget all about asriel, which the ending seems to allude to.[/spoiler]

Ive done both playthroughs and would play again, the game is very enjoyable

Undertale is a really trash game. Only tumblrinas find any enjoyment out of it.

I absolutely love undertale, for a game that takes about five hours to complete, I've suck in over 30.
-
I believe Undertale, even as basic as it is, is the game many people were craving. I have not felt connected to video game characters in forever for they all seem so stereotypical. Undertale weird but awesome humor engages in a experience that I have forgotten. It brought me back to a time when I actually felt enjoyment playing a game. Toby please make more to the story or even something new and more impressive if you some how see this.

The final fight [spoiler]with the flower[/spoiler] Is -blam!-ing terrifying

THE ASGORE FIGHT IS AWESOME
-
(tl;dr)... Undertale has horrible graphics! Don't waste your money!
-
Nah it looks stupid

49 hours in a game that only takes 6-8 to beat... [spoiler]Sans is responsible for a good 10% of that time[/spoiler]

Edited by ihunt0: 12/3/2015 1:17:56 AMLove the game can't get enough. Weeks after I played the game I'm still listening to the soundtrack. What's your favorite song from the game?[spoiler]mine is heartache, dummy, and of course megalovania[/spoiler]

I've heard of the game before. It looks very interesting. Is it similar to Child of Light in any way or do you not know?
-
I beat it. Very good game.
-
It's amazing but in terms of gameplay I prefer fallout 4 since undertale is more story based. Don't get me wrong though it's amazing
-
Such a fun game! I love it :D
-
I'll check her out. I've be taking a vacation from my comfort zone with entertainment media.

Picked it up (along with SOMA) after grabbing a refund for a game. Im still playing through it but it's been a pretty good game so far. Although I wish they added the soundtrack as a download on the store page though... :/
