Customer Ratings & Reviews

I didn't 100% know what I was getting into when I dove into this game. Turned out to be a phenomenal experience. Excellent writing, great music, interesting bullet hell mechanics. I have had friends who aren't big gamers eat this game up. It's hard to encompass what I like about this game into this review. If you are on the fence, just take the dive and go for it. I am sure you won't regret it.

my kid loves the game. keeps her playing for a long time.

Absolute masterpiece, everyone should experience this. Game feels extremely simple but like an onion, it has tons and tons of layers to dig through. Game music is probably the best I've ever heard!

Undertale is a good and unique game, although not without its flaws. The game play, writing and art are a weird yet mostly successful mix of comedic self-parody and earnestness. The core fighting mechanic involves controlling a little heart, dodging obstacles to avoid damage. To engage with the enemy, you can choose either to fight or to interact and talk. It's unique, fun, and the game constantly riffs on the concept. There are a handful of puzzles. They are okay but not inspired. The writing is full of jokes, meta-humor, and absurdism, and there are a cast of memorable characters. I enjoyed this side of the game a lot. I found the story mixed, though. The broad strokes of an underground realm of monsters is good, but it's overly complex and confusing, partially due to a reliance on exposition dumps, and there are about twenty endings, which rob the game of its narrative momentum about halfway through and start to grate. I wasn't very emotionally engaged. The art is very basic, largely in the spirit of self-parody, but about half of the character designs are actually really strong, and there are some pretty environments. However, the other half is pretty bad. Some of the in-world character designs are not even intelligible, and there's an absence of animation which, while joked at, seems lazy. The music is unreservedly excellent. Overall, if just due to its sheer oddity, I have to recommend playing this.

Stellar music, heart-warming plot, great old-school RPG vibes.

Undertale is one of the best games of all time, and it was made all by one man, on one strip of code. PLAY THIS GAME.

This was a gift for my son. He has wanted this game for quite some time, and when it came out for Switch, I bought it for him. Gameplay is straightforward. The characters are interesting, the plot is a bit dark, but it does give you a chance to play the game as a pacifist to some extent. It is interesting to see how the choices made affect the gameplay. The quality is old fashioned (think 8 bit retro graphics), but it is still rather fun to play. The music is fantastic. Depending on the choices made throughout the game, the level of difficulty can be low or high. It is quite challenging for my children. Overall, it is a fun game and the price is right. It may be a bit scary for some children, even with a rating of everyone 10+, but my 7 year old loves it.

The themes and tones of Undertale are very dark and I enjoyed the experience but I'm honestly confused on why kids love it so much. The way the game plays often plays with your perception and expectations. Do kids get all the references that are in this game? Do they understand what's going on when you chose specific options? I want to be clear, kids can 100% get these and understand them but this game was so huge. It was a phenomenon! And kids ATE IT UP! So I'm left here scratching my head going, "Yes, this game is good but I don't understand if you really get what's going on or if you just think the dancing flower is crazy."

As any indie gamer knows, Undertale is one of the best story-driven indie games out there. I'd be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't heard of the title. The Switch edition has some extra content which is nice, as if the game didn't already have replay value. The physical copy also includes a mini Golden Book-style book of the origin story. Any fan or collector will want it!

It's hard to say anything positive about Undertale without spoiling the surprise and charm of the game. The visuals might be a little off-putting, but the sense of true, meaningful choice at the core of the game is incomparable. Fun battle system and the game doesn't overstay its welcome. If you're an RPG fan looking for something a little offbeat, check it out.

Plays great on both my Switch and Switch 2. Highly recommended!

This game is definitely a classic. Everybody should play it, it helps one if you’re lonely or stuck in your own thoughts. I always play it when feeling a bit low

Very good game. Challenging but fun. Nostalgic gameplay as if it were from the 80s

Bought this on the recommendation of a friend. Super old school vibe and a little hard to navigate at first but I am a fan! Purchased the digital version to be sent straight to my Switch so getting it set up was hassle free!

This game was on my Switch list for a long time and I was happy to finally pick this up

Awesome game with a great meaning behind it - if you havent played it - it does surprise you. The old fashioned style is such a throw back and very nostalgic too

The game is fun. Like the overall game play. Definitely worth grabbing

Great game and I love the pamplet it comes with...

The replay value is found trying different ways of completing the game one way is to try and avoid killing anyone. You have to play through the game a few times to see a few of the very different way things change depending on what happens during the game.

Undertale is loved by many. If you are a fan of Undertale this physical release has a fun booklet to add to your collection. Its also fun to have games you love on a physical cartridge. If you are a fan its a must buy. If you haven't played it yet it is worth checking out!
