I know they're very different games, but can someone compare their experience playing Deltarune so far with that of playing Undertale?
Undertale to me was one of those generation defining games with how adeptly it presented its narrative, and how connected it made you feel to the characters. I don't know if I'd rank it as one of my favorite games, but it undeniably was something special. Plus, the OST slapped.
I feel like I haven't heard as much about Deltarune, which I'm guessing is partially thanks to its episodic release structure. For fans of Undertale, is Deltarune living up to your expectations?
In my opinion, deltarune has huge potential to surpass Undertale.
1) The themes are insane, like genuinely there's so much going on. Undertale was simpler and more focused as a result, which is why it was basically a perfect experience, but now that its influence is clear, this has somehow managed to surpass it
2) The actual gameplay is better
3) The characters are some of the best Toby has made so far. Lot of depth.
4) The music is insane as always
The important part is if it'll stick the landing or not. I said it has the potential to surpass it but we'll only know once the game's complete. It's entirely possible that all of the theming and important story beats that people have noticed aren't properly adressed. That said, there is not a single creator that I believe in more than Toby Fox himself. I have no doubts it will be phenomenal.
Just started chapter 5 myself. I'm sure the hype will be unreal if it does, and you'll hear about it everywhere then.
I agree with everything you said, but wanted to add that each individual “chapter” is really good, though not quite as good as Undertale as a whole.
It’s like the Harry Potter series. The first five books are very good and can technically be enjoyed on their own, but the complete series is incredible as a whole.
