Item ConditionComplete in box: the game cartridge and its original case, with any printed inserts shown in the photos. Look over the photos for condition, packaging and details. Every game is tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.Item DescriptionThe first creature you meet underground is a smiling flower who tries to kill you. The next takes you gently by the hand and leads you across a floor of hidden spikes. Undertale lives in that whiplash between menace and kindness, and it is built on a question few RPGs ever think to ask: what if you didn't have to fight anyone at all?Toby Fox wrote, designed and scored nearly all of it, and the combat system is his masterstroke. Encounters open with a familiar FIGHT, ACT, ITEM and MERCY menu, but enemy attacks play out as miniature bullet-hell sequences in which you steer a small heart, your SOUL, around patterns shaped by each monster's personality. ACT lets you compliment, joke with, flirt with or pet your way out of conflict, and MERCY lets you spare foes who no longer want to fight. Every monster becomes both a puzzle and a character.Those characters are why people still talk about it. Toriel, the gentle caretaker of the Ruins; Sans, the easygoing skeleton with a bottomless supply of puns, and his brother Papyrus, desperate to capture a human and join the Royal Guard; Undyne, the spear-hurling captain of that guard; Alphys, Mettaton and King Asgore all leave their mark as the journey moves through Snowdin, Waterfall and Hotland. The soundtrack is just as memorable, with tracks like "Megalovania," "Spear of Justice" and "Hopes and Dreams" escaping the game to take on lives of their own.Undertale also remembers. Spare everyone, fight your way through, or land somewhere in between, and the game tracks your choices across Pacifist, Neutral and Genocide routes, with some characters noticing even when you reload a save to undo a mistake. Funded on Kickstarter and released on PC in 2015, it became an indie phenomenon that inspired a wave of character-driven RPGs, and its follow-up, Deltarune, has kept its world in the conversation. On Switch its compact, handcrafted adventure feels right at home, the kind of game you finish and immediately start again just to see how differently it can go.
