Deltarune

Deltarune is a quirky, story-driven RPG from Toby Fox, the creator of Undertale. Whether you call it Deltarune, DELTARUNE, or just the spiritual successor to Undertale, this game throws you into the oddball Dark World and asks—can you restore balance and get home, or will you just end up helping monsters with their love lives? The game looks retro, but don’t let that fool you. Deltarune is packed with unexpected moments and playful twists that never really let you settle in.

Enter the Dark World

Things get weird fast. You wake up in a place that feels familiar but isn’t quite the same. Familiar faces from Undertale pop up, but roles have changed. You’re not alone, either—your new friends are as unpredictable as the world around you. Every decision seems simple until it isn’t. Want to fight? Sure. Want to talk your way out? That’s usually an option. Sometimes, you’ll even help your enemies with their problems—just another day in Deltarune.

Turn-Based Combat With a Twist

• Classic meets chaos: Battles start like any other RPG, but soon you’re dodging wild attacks in “bullet hell” style mini-games.
• Control the crew: You manage your whole party, not just your main character. Each one brings a different vibe and set of skills.
• Make peace, not war: You can win without fighting. Talk, act, or even compliment your enemies into submission. Flirting? That happens.
• Defense and magic: Use the new defend option to take less damage or build up Tension Points for magic attacks. Riskier dodges mean more TP. Lesson learned: standing still is rarely the answer.

Signature Humor and Style

Deltarune doesn’t take itself too seriously. From the self-aware interface to the jokes hidden in item descriptions, it’s clear that Toby Fox wants you to expect the unexpected. Sometimes the game even pokes fun at the classic RPG grind. And don’t be surprised if a boss battle feels like a comedy show—just roll with it. Personally, I found myself laughing out loud more than once.

Simple but Catchy Visuals and Music

• Old-school vibes: The graphics are 2D and charmingly minimal, inspired by classic 8-bit games and the art of Chef Kano.
• Memorable tunes: Every area has its own catchy soundtrack. If you played Undertale, you know Toby Fox has a knack for memorable music. Sometimes, you’ll be humming along without realizing it.

Who Should Play Deltarune?

If you liked Undertale, you’ll feel right at home—but you don’t need to be a mega-fan. Deltarune works as its own thing. Got a soft spot for offbeat humor, quick-witted dialogue, or games that don’t punish you for trying something different? This one’s for you. Not into epic lore dumps or endless cutscenes? You’ll be happy here. The adventure is episodic, so expect the story to drop in chunks.
