Undertale is a brilliant and smartly designed game that understands well what makes a good RPG work; so much so that it can upend expectations and deliver something that’s almost a satire of the genre. It’s been a long time since we’ve played a game that manages to surprise so often and in so many unique ways, and even if it doesn’t look like much, Undertale has way more going for it under the surface. Excellently written characters, a genre-bending battle system and a solid soundtrack make this one an easy recommendation, especially to RPG lovers. Do yourself a favour and give this one a download.

Undertale is one of those games you'll never forget. It is bursting with creativity, heart, and humor. It's the funniest game I ever played. It can be grueling in its difficulty, but never completely discouraging.

This is a game with a lot of themes. It's a game about kindness. It's about determination. It's about choices. It's about friendship. It nearly made me cry at times. It terrified me at others.

Undertale is best described as a JRPG-style adventure, with puzzle and shoot-'em-up elements. The boss fights are unlike any you've encountered before. It's packed with secrets and Easter eggs. You must complete the game twice to get the "true" or "best" ending, but there is another route...

You should definitely play Undertale, even if you don't like RPGs. It is one of the most-important games of the 21st Century. Oh, and the music is right up there with the all-time best video game soundtracks.
