Undertale

Good fun, but not entirely perfect

For those who check my Lybrary and don't see the game there - that's merely becuase I own it over on Steam and just posting a review here to help spread my thoughs that no one has really discussed. First off, it's a fine game. A charming and cheeky little game with some Yume Nikki & Earthbound inspirations in tune and darker themes not entirely apperent from the start but very clear after the fact. You'll end up loving or just enjoying most of the characters and even the one off enemies. Even ones you dispise at first. The simple sprite graphics also just add to those feelings of a cute little adventure only to be subverted right at the end depending on which path you're doing Gameplay is rather basic, a mix of simple RPG actions and bullet hell. Nothing too complicated even late into the game aside from one Boss. Honestly I felt it should have had more. Now for the bad - You're only gonna get about three playthroughs max if you're gunning for all the endings, plus the small randomzed events each run. After that thre ain't much to do besides hunt for easter eggs. As well I can't help buy critize the games heavy handed message of Pasifism vs Attacking. Its very white and black and doesn't offer any grounds for discussion on the middle grounds; such as fighting in self defense. But that's likely a too serious and long winded discussion for a game this short. And if you get the bad ending, you'll have to reinstall the game or else you'll be stuck in an endless loop of still getting the bad end even if you did all good. This isn't a bug, it's an intended feature that's relevent to the Meta plot by the developer. I whole heartedly recommand it despite its handful of flaws. Maybe pick up the Switch version for the exclusive bonus boss if that bothers ya.
