Same heart and soul as Undertale but much less challenge. The dialogue and the humor are spot on and I greatly enjoy the story. My only complaint is that it feels drastically nerfed compared to Undertale. You don’t have to figure out for yourself that not fighting is an option (and a necessity for the true ending), they directly tell you ten minutes in to not fight. There’s less actions to choose from in the fights so you don’t have to figure out what does and doesn’t enable you to spare the enemies. It’s definitely got the same spirit as the original game but I get the impression Toby gave in to some of the whiny reviews about Undertale being “too hard” and nerfed Deltarune as a result. I hope chapter 2 brings back some of the challenge of the original.

I enjoyed it a lot as a nostalgic high school dramedy for the first 6 episodes. Then got to the last episode and WOW, bumped my opinion of the show up 200%
