What is Undertale anyway?

<span class="bold">Undertale</span>, a most peculiar RPG adventure, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 20% launch discount.

What is Undertale? It's a good, tough question. It's a particularly weird little game — a textbook case of so unusual and special, that saying too much might end up a disservice.

The adorable 8-bit RPG is, like most things in life and Undertale, an unassuming layer of lies. Lies, beneath which lies one of the most interesting indie games in recent memory — Undertale the RPG where talking your way out of every fight is an option, but then so is total genocide. It's a game that throws countless twists at you — abstract encounters with absurd enemies, the most unexpected consequences to your actions, and vastly varying experiences that are 100% your fault. Who you are, and how your Undertale plays out will change everything — even your next inevitable playthrough.

Your most peculiar adventure begins with <span class="bold">Undertale</span>, available now, DRM-free on GOG.com. The launch discount will last for one week, until March 8, 1:59 PM GMT.

Yes, the arguments are quite compelling. Who could forget such classic reviews as "Remove this crap" and "...with the crazy fanbase that attaches itself to the game, it is best to avoid this crap entirely." How informative and helpful when making a purchasing decision! :D

My beef with this game and some indie games in general is that treat it as if it was the second coming of Christ.

I mean are gamers that uncontent about the state of modern gaming that they praise average games like this?

I watched Spoony's stream. I bothered to Watch walkthroughs so that I understand what this game is.

Because of the internet people treats this game as the best of all time.

And worse of all the fans are flooding Know Your Meme with their "art"

I don't trust good or bad reviews on there. I need a recommend I come in here and ask all of you. Even those of you I don't get along with I still trust.

I think it's insane more people don't do that.
...aaaand cue the hate brigade. I wonder if I should make up an "Undertale Release Thread" Bingo Game to see how many people bring up that it's only a game for dirty rotten SJWs, or is "not a game", or "sucks because of the graphics", or "sucks because a lot of people like it so much".

Anyway. Thank you GOG, for bringing this here. You've got my $7.99 today.
Good to see it finally come to GOG DRM free.
... Gotta add, it was worth releasing this on GOG, if only to piss off all the haters. Their whining and trash reviews fill me with joy. And determination.

In that case, I'd just ignore all of that and go with what people you trust say about it. I myself got into this game primarily on the recommendations and comments from TB and Jim Fucking Sterling Son. I pretty much ignored everything else out there.

Well the spritework is not all that compelling. I have seen better 8-bit art-styles like Shovel Knight and the classic Megaman games on the NES and Final Fantasy 3 on the NES.

I will at least admit it looks like a game worth playing compared to the Stanley Parable and Five Nights at Freddy's.

At least Undertale looks like it has substance.

I heard some things about that, nothing particular, basically the hype that was generated prior to it's release but now that I see it, I'm not sure it is the kind of game I would spend some time (and money) with. Nice too see it here though since a lot folks were waiting for it. :)

timppu: I didn't get sold on the trailer either (seemed like a generic pixellated old-skool RPG with SID music), but I guess there has to be something for all that praise..
Well, the main point besides all the stuff which could be "artsy/hipster/whatever", is that one of the possible goal is to to finish the game without killing anyone which in itself in quite an achievement regarding the "dumbing down" of current RPG's in general (the Fallout series being a good example of the trend).
