Necro's Undertale thoughts:
I had heard of this game multiple times and was curious and thanks to my friend Dan, I managed to come to love the game.
Story: Tbh I have only really seen boss battles from this game as I have not enough funds to nab it for Steam. As such most of my thoughts to those battles come to the character part. I find the 3 styles of play interesting.
For those who do not know, there are 3 styles one can take to play this game. The is a Pacifist Run in which you do not battle anyone, try to speak to monsters you fight first, and also take mercy on the bosses. Meaning you are always at level 1 throughout the journey. There is the Neutral Run which is kind of self explanatory in that you fight some and give mercy to others. Finally is the Genocide Run where you kill anything and EVERYTHING in your path. I have to say all the paths look fun and their bosses unique to those runs are incredible.
Characters: Holy sweet lord above Sans I love the characters. From Mettaton to the Skeleton Brothers to Undyne etc... As a matter of fact, time for a mini Necro's Top 5 Undertale Characters:
5.) Undyne - I just love how she develops in the story and her theme, Spear of Justice, is just nice to hear. Those I will say trying to go past her within Pacifist Mode is a challenge, though it leads to funny results.
4.) Asgore - I just enjoy this rendition of a King of the Underworld. His theme, Bergentrückung, is nice and somber to fit the mood of the character, especially if you face him in a Pacifist Run. Here is what I mean (in the spoiler):
- Asgore Boss Fight (Pacifist):
The fact that Asgore destroys your fucking Mercy button at the start of the fight made me question why so. But the fight makes it clear that he has tried to kill to get your soul and free his people from this underworld. With his actions, it feels right in saying that he feels as if he does not even deserve forgiveness for what he has done and as such he is the only fight in which you HAVE to kill in Pacifist Mode.
3.) Papyrus - Here comes the Papyrus fan army coming to kill me for this. Papyrus was a great character for me and his love of Spaghetti goes far in his personality. I will also say I enjoy his theme, Bonetrousle.
2.) Mettaton/ Mettaton EX - Firstly I loved the subplot in which you encounter this robot. The puzzles seems cool from what I have seen. 2ndly I love his theme, Metal Crusher, and its techno style to fit a robot who loves fame. And now my favorite part of this character. His evolution into Mettaton EX. It is just so hammy that I could not help but laugh. And his theme changes from the techno Metal Crusher into the Dance Club song Death by Glamour. I love Death by Glamour as it fits a character of this caliber.
1.) Sans - Obvious first pick is obvious. Sans is amazing and I love the mystery surrounding him. Such as theories trying to find out if he really is a Skeleton. As for his fight, thoughts on that in the spoiler:
- Sans's Boss Fight:
I love how you fight him after the Genocide Run and the fight is Bullet Hell in RPG form. With the massive challenge to this fight and the symbolism to his fight afterwards when you have to move the command area box to the action command to finish him off as well as the sad mood to the end where he is imagining his brother is still alive and tries to go to the diner to find him. ALso the theories of him being a human are interesting and adds more to this awesome character,
Finally I love his theme, Megalovania, and how hyped you get for the fight from it.
Music: Holy Hell the Music is awesome. It takes on the classic 8-bit style to its themes and adds EVEN MORE onto them. Death By Glamour, Megalovania, Metal Crusher, Battle Against a True Hero, etc... I love em all.
My only thing iffy with the game is not so much with the game, but with the players. Specifically, I am talking about the haters. This game, to those haters, is a symbol of shit and they bash so many people for even making a peep about this game and how they like it. I feel that those people should just lighten up. If it is not their favorite game then fine. But there is no reason to go and trash the fans for liking it.
That is all I have to say on the matter.
