Toby Fox delivers a vibrant, surprising, and narratively rich follow-up that deepens the Undertale formula with a refined battle system, more artistic polish, and a cast full of personality, though the lack of a Spanish translation and its unfinished state may make some players hesitate.

Deltarune won me over because it’s complex and heart-wrenchingly earnest. This earnestness is what keeps people coming back for more. The art, music, and gameplay simply serve this earnest passion for video games. This game burns bright because of that passion, and it’s something you need to see to believe.

Deltarune is a game that can feel odd to recommend, as it’s both difficult to convey in words what makes this game feel special and… well, it still isn’t done. Its goofy and subversive narrative, innovative battle mechanics, and killer soundtrack all combine to make this one worth the purchase in its current state, even if it is unfinished and the visuals still feel a tad underwhelming. At any rate, I’d suggest you pick this one up; there’s no telling when the story will finally wrap up, but the release of the latest two chapters has done a lot to round out what once felt a little anaemic.

DELTARUNE gathers all the qualities that made Undertale so great, and turns them up a notch. DELTARUNE, the parallel story to Undertale, offers a different perspective surrounding player's choices and freedoms in a video game, and the impact this has in the story, whilst also offering a complex and mysterious story which is still far from being figured out. The characters are just as lovable as they were in Undertale, and so is the music, the art, the boss fights, and all the other things that made Undertale so great. The battle system, while similar to Undertale, is still unique and fun to use. And with only 4 out of 7 chapters released, this game has so much potential in its story. Definitely a must play for any gamer (or even someone who's never fully played a video game before).

Toby Fox really knows how to take players on an emotional rollercoaster! DELTARUNE is fantastic, and it is impressive how he manages to balance so many different feelings in one game. An absolute mix of emotions. This game made me feel joyous, pleasantly sad, excited, and tense: it truly captures it all. Between the perfect story, the memorable characters, and the incredible soundtrack, Toby Fox completely nailed it with DELTARUNE.

Deltarune is a subversive epic that defies conventions and keeps the laughs coming every minute of its lengthy runtime. The most staggering aspect of it is that this isn't even its final form. Purchasing Deltarune chapters 1-4 is a ticket for the eventual chapters 5-7, which will expand the scope of the story and surely take things in an unpredictable direction if the conclusion of chapter 4 is anything to go by. Undertale wasn't without its faults and neither is Deltarune, but once the story, gags, and characters unfold, it's the kind of game that lingers, leaving a powerful and unforgettable experience. It's the kind of lasting impression that supersedes flaws.

Speeding through Deltarune — a stunningly imaginative role-playing adventure — to a quick ending is not the point. It’s meant to be enjoyed gradually, a trip along startling roads less traveled with your virtual friends.

It’s not the plot that’s important in Deltarune but the bizarre range of characters and the surreal situations you find yourself in. Although at the heart of it all is a very pacifist ideology, that celebrates the power of love and the need for empathy without ever seeming mawkish or patronising. And while also paying homage to old school Japanese role-players and having a cracking soundtrack.

Deltarune is a charming pixelated adventure that's not afraid to lean into the weird and wacky. This indie RPG flips the genre on its head, encouraging kindness over combat and delivering laughs in spades across its four chapters thanks to its witty writing, bizarre characters, and memorable worlds.

Beautiful storytelling by toby fox, if toby fox keeps pumping out these chapters better and better than this might be a top 3 games of all time for me, all i really have to say is DELTARUNE TOMORROW! Also, the fact that this game is debatably better than undertale when it only has 4 chapters, means that the is has potential for game of the year when it fully comes out?

AWFUL knockoff of Heartbound!!! This game does what that game did but WORSE. You owe Thor money!!!!
SummaryDeltarune, the turn-based RPG by Undertale creator Toby Fox, features a parallel universe similar to the world of Undertale. The main character Kris stars as the protagonist, surrounded by strong personalities like the bully-turned-friend Susie and mild-mannered mage, Ralsei.
