Undertale

Know somebody who might be like this game?

Summary

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.

Storyline

"A long time ago, two races ruled peacefully over the Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS. One day, a terrible war broke out between the two races. After a long battle, the humans were victorious. They sealed the monsters underground with a magical spell.

In the year 201X, a small child scales Mt. Ebott. It is said that those who climb the mountain never return.

Seeking refuge from the rainy weather, the child enters a cave and discovers an enormous hole.

Moving closer to get a better look... the child falls in.

Now, our story begins."

It has the charm of a game made by a single guy and expands on a genre of games I typically do not enjoy, turn based rpgs. Although I find some parts of the game boring and not every joke lands Undertale is a game I had lots of fun playing and was a great refresher from all the darker games I normally play.

Free of Spoilers!I bought this game after hearing some of the murmurs of its success back in 2015, and I took a chance and picked it up.Free of Spoilers!I bought this game after hearing some of the murmurs of its success back in 2015, and I took a chance and picked it up. Boy, did I have absolutely no idea what I was getting into. This is a 2D “bullet-hell” RPG created by one talented individual, Toby Fox. First off, the soundtrack is sheer perfection in this game. The seamless blend of multiple themes into single songs, the sweeping synths and hilarious oddities, Toby Fox has absolutely nailed the world-building music that still tears across the internet to this day. These characters immediately grab your attention never let go. The story is well-crafted, introspective, and one of the most memorable I have ever played. The combat is fun and challenging, and while it’s not my favorite, it gets the job done.What I can’t talk about here is what you need to experience for yourself, which is basically everything else. A must-play gem.Final Score: 9.5/10

From its charismatic characters and stupendous story to its meaningful gameplay and incredible soundtrack, Undertale on Xbox is a titanic accomplishment that not only ignores the ideas of what makes a video game, but redefines them.

It is a turn-based RPG game with Bullet-Hell mechanics. The characters have a lot of charisma. Enemies with a lot of charisma. The story is scattered across the map. Funny and humorous dialogues. Easy achievements (you can get the 1000G out of it without seeing all the content or all the possibilities). If you like chiptune, his songs are very catchy. The Temmies (and Bob) come out. The room "Canine Temple" is special for the Xbox version (in fact it clears the mess that occurred in that room in previous versions) you can decorate it with a console and a Kinect parody. (For now) It's on Xbox Game PassThe bad:The story "Speed run" is very easy (Minus the final bosses). There is no way to save several games to go modifying and seeing the multiple possibilities, the game overwrites the file and there is no way to experiment unless you crash or start a new game. Easy achievements but ... it's 160G of achievements totally dependent on luck and randomness (one slot machine). Another 360G money donations you win on the slot machine that depends on previous achievements.Meh it!If yours is a ‘lot of text’, avoid it. If you hate pixelated graphics, avoid it. If you hate turn-based RPGs avoid it. If you don't like meta-references, puns, and simple jokes, avoid it. If you hate Bullet-Hell or ship games, avoid it. The ‘Fun value’ will now be totally random, there is no possibility of seeing some things unless you are very lucky. As it does not have a Windows interface, it is not possible to fiddle with the files to do certain things in the game or to see the secrets. Even after so many years it is still a meme factory
