(micro-review)

Genre: RPG;

Release date: 15-Sep-2015 ;

Overview:

Welcome to UNDERTALE. In this RPG, you control a human who falls underground into the world of monsters. Now you must find your way out... or stay trapped forever.

((Healthy Dog's Warning: Game contains imagery that may be harmful to players with photosensitive epilepsy or similar condition.))

Features:

Killing is unnecessary: negotiate out of danger using the unique battle system.
Time your attacks for extra damage, then dodge enemy attacks in a style reminiscent of top-down shooters.
Original art and soundtrack brimming with personality.
Soulful, character-rich story with an emphasis on humor.
Created mostly by one person.
Become friends with all of the bosses!
At least 5 dogs.
You can date a skeleton.
Hmmm... now there are 6 dogs...?
Maybe you won't want to date the skeleton.
I thought I found a 7th dog, but it was actually just the 3rd dog.
If you play this game, can you count the dogs for me...? I'm not good at it.

This (very light) RPG was more of a visual novel for me. The fights can be pretty fun and short but I think that what matters most in them is your dexterity. You are surrounded by stories at every step and they are conveyed very nicely with this retro style. The developer showed great imagination and humor, I really hope we'll see more form him. The only significant issue that I can find for this game is that the last "boss" can be too much of a hassle.

Rating: worst than MewMew 1, better than MewMew 2.

Recommendation: I had great time with it, maybe so will you.
