It may not be the near-perfect masterpiece I consider Undertale to be, but it successfully holds onto much of what made the first game great while making adjustments and finding its own place as well.
While Undertale is great both as a comedy and a tragedy, Deltarune is good for some laughs but – so far – doesn’t move players otherwise. [13/2018, p.48]

For something that is suppose to be a demo of sorts, this game certainly didn't feel like it. While short, Deltarune provides just enough characterization, plot, and jokes that really make it feel like a full game. Yet it was given out for free and is absolutely worth playing.While most early demos provide a prove of concept, Deltarune feels more like a prologue to something bigger, and a lot of this is felt through out the game as we continue to hear echos of legends, are introduced to a whole new town/world, and even given character growth between certain characters. I certainly don't want to give too much away given how short this game is, but the fact that the first game, Undertale, was given such a defined choice system and this game wasn't; makes for a lot of interesting themes to contrast the two. No matter what you say or do everything will happen in a similar fashion. Not to say that it undermines character growth, but it certainly does make replays or watches a bit interesting in how a character reacts to something yet still land relatively close to the same **** three main characters all have interesting dynamics with each other, but only Susie and Ralsei have any growth. There is thankfully a huge supporting cast though both during the game and near the end that really make for some interesting thoughts considering the way Deltarune ends. The combat system not only has a mixture of Paper Mario and Undertale mechanics, but make itself feel different than either one. While there isn't a lot of boss battles here, the ones that were certainly show what the main game will be about and thankfully have that same Undertale charm along with providing a traditional JRPG challenge.Really though this game is free and made by Toby Fox. It's full of charm, witty, great game and character design, and even better music. If you're not convinced to play it after all the raving and hooting than it's probably just not a game for you and that's fine.

Hat mir mega gut gefallen, Toby Fox ist ein Genie und bringt auch hier wieder viel Herz rein. Mal davon abgesehen, dass dieses Meisterwerk kostenlos ist. Ich hätte alleine für Chap 1 10€ ausgegeben

You sly Fox, you, you’ve gone and delivered an excellent game, and all we had to do was download it (and enter into a tacit agreement not to spoil anything for 24 hours, which many of us promptly ignored).
Its a good game. But is too short, the gameplay just became fun in the final boss, when you can control Kris, Susie and Ralsei, poor characters exploit and the humor is boring. On the other hand hand, it has a kick-ass OST, and, honestly, this is my favourite of all toby fox's games, The pixel art is beautifull and there characters like Lancer, that are FUN. nothing else, just fun. I like the game, but compared to chapter 2 and undertale, is just boring.

Игра достаточно классная, интересная. Но, мне большенсве треков показались в среднем 5 из 10, кроме двух треков это: rune buster, и field of hopes and dream, они классные. Сужет на 6 из 10. Были неплохие моменты и шутки, а концовка составляла устраивать панику. Мне понравилось что это другой мир, он связывает с миром андертейл только определёнными персонажами. Новое осмысления боёвки сделано хорошо. И игра проходится легко, кроме тайного босса. В целом я доволен

This was boring.
You just go in a straight line, the story is like any kids cartoon for man-children, the action has no depth.
This barely counts as an "RPG".
