This is my first review of a non-RGR game, just a heads-up.
I got this game within a couple months of release, where at first I thought it was dumb until my friends showed me some game play and the music, I completed this game in about a month of spare time, and it was worth it.
Graphics: 6 The graphics are 8-bit and could be better, although the animations on some of the sprites look great for a game that's supposed to be in 8-bit times, although the graphics is what may have been why this game is hated by some people.
Sound: 8 The game has average 8-bit sound effects for simple actions, but the music. The music is GREAT, I mean it puts you in the game and is great to listen to, although there may only be about 5 real songs in the game and the rest are remixed, it sounds amazing still. For a game with 8-bit graphics it shocked me how good the music was.
Addictiveness: 8 I still boot this game up once in a while, but I completed it a while back so i'm just sitting here like
waiting for hard mode. (get it?)
Story: 8 This is one of those game where the story revolves around YOU and your choices. The main story is that it is 201X and you are a child that falls into a world full of monsters ruled by King Asgore, and you meet people along the way and can do things or avoid them altogether.
Depth: 9 The game is a bog game and you choices can affect how you play the game. You have to be careful what choices you make and are rewarded with different types of points depending on what actions you do: Spare or Kill enemies. There are many ways to beat the game and it all depends on what you do with who.
Difficulty: 9 The game was pretty hard at one point, especially when fighting the later bosses and enemies Undyne and
Asgore were the hardest for me in particular. You have to know what you are doing when, or else you will get a different ending each time. The combat system is unique and hard at the same time.
OVERALL: 8.8 The game is a fun game that will keep you occupied for hours, and at the moment is only for PC. There may be console or mobile versions coming in the future, but lets just stick for this for now. The game is also
updated and new stuff is added. As I mentioned, the creator of the game Toby Fox, mentioned that there will be a harder mode of the game coming out, as if the game isn't already hard enough. The game is $10 in normal game stores like Steam or Good Old Games (I think it should be $7 to be fair) and should be remembered as one of the most inspirational games in history. Also, a youtuber by the name of Game Theory (Matthew Patrick) game a copy of this game to Pope Francis of the Vatican, as a gift from being a diplomat for the United States, so that's pretty cool. I recommend this game to any person that has a PC and can play this game. You will enjoy it for sure, and hate spaghetti and skeletons along with puns along the journey.
