It’s not clear how far along this demo is, nor which portion of the full game - if there is going to be such a thing - it represents. But there are still differences that likely won’t become obvious until the full game arrives. Like Undertale, Deltarune has non-combative combat and bullet hell-like battles to defend against. You have a teammate in this game, and the interface looks a lot more like a standard RPG. Even the law of the land is the same: There’s no need for violence here. The defining features remain, like the sense of humor, despite a smaller cast of characters thus far. A voyage into a dark supply closet suddenly drops Kris into the surreal underground of surreal monsters and puzzles that Undertale built. (Also making an appearance here is Alphys, another favorite from Undertale.) This seems like a pleasant world, and if nothing else, it’s all a markedly mundane and more social change from the isolated beginning of Undertale. Toriel drops Kris off at school, and is known by Kris’ classmates to be a great mother. The silent hero, Kris, wakes up in their “mother” Toriel’s house, a familiar scene that reintroduces a major face from the first game. It’s clear from the beginning that Deltarune is, if not a direct continuation of Undertale, set in the same universe. It’s free on Mac and Windows PC right now. If you haven’t yet? Maybe now is the time to load it up.
Not only because the free download’s a treat, but also because avoiding those specifics is only going to get harder.įor those of you who already found time today to delve into Fox’s latest game, read on. Any fan of Undertale, whether they played in 2015 or two weeks ago, should make it top priority to take the three hours or so to play Deltarune, though.
I’m also averse to call a reveal of the premise of this lovely game demo “a spoiler” - knowing even the most bare-bones details about Deltarune’s setting, story and combat shouldn’t ruin what is a fantastic demo experience.Īll that said, I’m sensitive to the concerns of both fans and Fox himself, as he has asked players to refrain from talking about the game during its first 24 hours out there. I’m not convinced there’s a way to talk about Deltarune, the surprise Undertale follow-up released today by creator Toby Fox, without “spoiling” it.
