Don't get me wrong I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love Undertale and Deltarune. I see so much love from this and how it loves the style and humor of Undertale and Deltarune, its just... trying too much for me. I could already tell where it was going at first when most of the time its people just joking 24/7 in the game. But Toby knows how to mix the joking side of Undertale/Deltarune with the seriousness which this game just doesn't have. Playing this there was just not one real moment that felt original, everything just felt like it was trying to be Undertale/Deltarune so hard, not to mention the combat TRIES to be like the former but the Heart now being the character and the absurd hitboxes some of the characters have if you switch from them which I don't think you should since the main character has like the best build out of everything just made this game such a pain, in the first playthrough I had to put the game on ♥♥♥♥♥♥ CHILL MODE, I've never felt like that with Undertale OR Deltarune... I'm sorry but I'd just rather play Undertale/Deltarune...

Constant interruptions in the gameplay with humor aimed at children and young teens. The game is most likely made with a lot of care, but this is not a game for me, and if you look at the achievements you'll see a drop from 82% from the first to 35 for the second. That's a huge drop-off, so I'm apparently not alone.

It's hard to overstate how much this borrows from Undertale, seemingly without always knowing what made those things work in the first place. But it does also add some of its own ideas and personality, and the art and music are very good. Probably too OTT for some, but I had a decent time with it.

it's like undertale, but worse in almost every way story is worse, combat is worse, gameplay is worse, jokes are worse, music is worse the only thing better is the art play undertale instead Some specific gripes: Combat has no i-frames after getting hit, meaning if you go through an enemy, it can easily oneshot you from full health, or if a projectile splits into multiple, you end up taking damage from all of them at once if you were close to it. The game expects you to play it multiple times but contains a LOT of time wasting throughout, heavily discouraging going through it again (my first playthrough took 7 hours). Last boss at the neutral route (which you will likely get by playing blind) has a poorly telegraphed "you have to do this now and there is no other way to proceed" phase, leading to frustration. Random encounter mobs constantly respawn and there is barely any purpose engaging with them, forcing you to wait for the combat animation to start and go into the menu and choose 'run away' (there is no downside to doing this). There is barely anything on the overworld maps, they are mostly filled with long corridors you have to slowly waddle through with a couple of rando…

I LOVE Y0U

10/10 very gooberie
