This is an RPG that’s really a choose your own adventure/interactive story, and that’s ok. The story is great. The RPG tropes, self awareness, and humor are great. If you are a fan of SNES era RPGs you need this! It is pretty normal RPG at first glance, linear at second look, and incredibly deep if you look closer.
There are three endings and the game knows which order you do them in to some extent. Toby Fox makes very creative use of metadata (used to remember your actions for RPG story progression).
Some say to go thru without killing anything first. But I am glad I went through completely blind the first time, playing like a normal RPG. I prefer not using guides with most my games. It was a more pure experience.
Watch the videos after you’ve played thru the normal and the pacifist routes on your own.
If you do decide to go thru without killing, you CAN’T KILL ANYTHING. Yes it can be done. Yes it is a bit tedious. But It’s only an 8 hour game, If you accidentally gain EXP, quit and reload your save.
Get on the fandom wiki or look up the ign pacifist guide. Looking up enemy battle strategies is great as a last resort. Generally these sites are spoiler free, as long as you don’t read too far ahead or only read the battle strategy.
Some spoiler free tips about keeping items.
-Search online for “ What Items Are Important to Keep for Later on?” Spoiler free on redd-it.
-Sell infinite amounts of dog residue in the secret Temmie Town.
Finally go download the sequels, Delta Rune chapters 1 and 2, for free. Yup free. On any console or PC.
Enjoy.

Lots of fun! Challenging at times but not impossible depending on the route you take. Multiple endings and the game encourages lots of replaying. The physical comes with a little pamphlet book with the intro story on it for a cute touch. There are some parts of the PC version that are inaccessible on the switch (like going into the game's files) but still very pleased. I've had the digital version for a while now and decided to get it physically as well

Undertale is a popular RPG game I bought because I was curious what it was like. I had watched a lot of gameplay video and wanted to choose my own path. Such a clever “choose your own” gameplay design. I was not disappointed by this version at all. Kudos to the developers and making this game available for on the go switch players. Highly recommended!
Undertale plot: A human child with a unknown gender calls into the underground realm full of monsters. The human child will go
on a adventure to find a way back to the surface realm. The child will meet many friendly monsters from Toriel, the motherly goat
like creature, to Sans and Papyrus, the funny skeleton brothers, to even fish warriors, scientist dinosaurs, robots, all the way to Asgore, the king of monsters. There will be different endings depending on who you kill and spare. 3 frightening endings that depend on violence or mercy. Will you save all monsters or destroy them all? You decide. **WARNING** consequences and judgement
at the end of the game.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
