UnderTale - A RPG Where No One Has To Get Hurt

by Couchpotato, 2013-07-02 01:40:54

Under Tale is a another kickstarter RPG that deserves a look. The game is already funded and even has a demo to try.

A long time ago, two races ruled peacefully over the Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS.  One day, a terrible war broke out between the two races.  After a long battle, the humans were victorious. They sealed the monsters underground with a magical spell.

In the year 201X, a small child scales Mt. Ebott. It is said that those who climb the mountain never return. 


Seeking refuge from the rainy weather, the child enters a cave and discovers an enormous hole.  Moving closer to get a better look... the child falls in. Now, our story begins. 
 

Although UNDERTALE is an original game, the demo has already received many favorable comparisons to the MOTHER (Earthbound) series, specifically MOTHER 3. Other have compared it to Cave Story, the Shin Megami Tensei series, Touhou, and Homestuck.

Existing features
 
- Fighting is wholly unnecessary: negotiate your way out of danger using the unique battle system.  
- Time your attacks for extra damage, then dodge enemy attacks in a style reminiscent of top-down shooters. 
- Use the format of a video game to tell the story: traditional fourth-wall breaking tropes such as "SAVING," "EXP," and "LV" are an intergrated part of the game's world.
- Obligatory puzzles. Lots and lots of obligatory puzzles. 
- Original art and soundtrack brimming with personality.
- Captivating story with an emphasis on humor.
 
Planned features
 
- Become friends with all of the bosses!
- Hilariously bad dating sim segments!
- Seriously, you can literally have a robot husband.
