About Undertale

A small child falls into the Underground, where monsters have long been banished by humans and are hunting every human that they find. The player controls the child as they try to make it back to the Surface through hostile environments, all the while engaging with a turn-based combat system with puzzle-solving and bullet hell elements, as well as other unconventional game mechanics.

The community says

Oh sure, let's compare it to BioShock again, because apparently every game with a moral choice is the same game now.

    Every duel? Speak for yourself.

    So the puzzle bits drag a little but the combat carries the whole thing easily

    I keep coming back to this debate every few months and I still land in the same spot. It's clever, it's charming, and it's not the flawless thing people online make it out to be.

    Every duel debate circles back to nostalgia eventually, doesn't it, that's the real winner here.

    Not flawless, sure, but what exactly clears that bar for you?

  4. Rudolph_2

    The puzzle sections get credited as innovative way more than they deserve, most of them are pretty basic once you look past the presentation.

  5. Frame_Rippin

    2107 duels and still stuck at 204th, feels like the ranking barely moves anymore

    TurboBard

    mdr le fandom oui, mais ça empêche pas le jeu d'être solide en dessous de tout ça

    Eloisa_40

    Nostalgia argument again, and yet the win rate keeps holding steady, funny how that works.

    CoopRider

    Two thousand duels in and the number barely budges, doesn't that say more about the voting pool than the game itself?
