Everyone heard about Undertale more than once, but its pixel graphics became a stumbling block. The storyline is the highlight of this game. So, the war between monsters and humans ended with the former being sealed underground with a spell.

Many years later, the child fell into the dungeon through a hole in the mountain. To get out, he needs to go through the Ruins and meet with the inhabitants of the dungeons, and it depends only on the player how this story ends. The game has three directions: pacifist, neutral and genocide. Moreover, each direction has several endings, depending on the decisions you make. But there are many more possible passages.

Why is everything so confusing?

Because the passage along the path of genocide will leave its mark on the world even if you later restart it. Your actions determine how the protagonist will interact with the monsters, how many puzzles await him and which boss you will have to fight in the end. At first it may seem that the story is for children, but it is not.

There are plenty of dramatic moments in the gameplay, especially if you take the neutral path or the genocide path. The characters opposing us seem absolutely evil only at first glance – they have another life. For all the inhabitants of the underworld, they are friends. All fates in Undertale are intertwined into a single ball, where any choice changes the future of everyone. And it’s very cool.

The most important fight of your life is waiting for you

During the game, your character will be repeatedly attacked by mobs – playing key roles in the plot, or completely left. You can accept the challenge, try to resolve everything peacefully or run away. By no means always the conflict is resolved peacefully, sometimes the mobs are absolutely not ready for conversations and exhortations.

Moreover, it depends on your words and actions whether the monster’s attack will intensify, or whether it will completely change its mind to fight you. To choose the right action, carefully read what the attacking monster says – sometimes they themselves give hints of the desired action. Also, watch their reaction to your actions – if the monster has become more aggressive and its blows cause more damage, you should reconsider your tactics in dealing with it.

The combat mode is made quite original: opponents take turns inflicting blows on each other, and you can always dodge or, in some cases, reflect the blow. But for this you need to quite briskly poke the arrows on the keyboard. The hit is applied using the enter button – this is another kind of speed test.

The musical accompaniment makes Undertale very atmospheric. The song from the dungeons especially sinks into the soul. The melodies of the boxes, the songs during the battle – everything is very appropriate and sounds great. You quickly get into the essence and even pay no attention to pixel graphics at all.
