Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

So last week I went and streamed a whole 6 hours and played through Deltarune: Chapter 2, which is the sequel to Deltarune: Chapter 1 (go figure).

Here’s the full stream if you want to watch the craziness:

So the game is incredibly quirky. I love it. The humor is on point and Toby Fox really knew what he was doing when he made this chapter. Without going too much into it, the interpersonal relationships between all of the characters feel genuine, and I was chuckling and laughing the entire time that I’m streaming.

I was talking with a friend of mine and he did mention that I haven’t done parts of the game, so I fully plan to revisit this on stream some time in the near future. This review is going to go based on what I have experienced.

Gameplay

The RPG aspect of Undertale/Deltarune is incredibly intuitive, and I was able to get back into the hang of the game relatively quickly. At least on the Steam version, I was able to use both the keyboard and controllers (I opted for Xbox Controllers personally) in-game.

The combat is similar to the previous games in that you can either attack or perform “actions” to spare and recruit baddies to your cause. The ACT in battle is hilarious because each action is unique based on the baddy. It relies heavily on the writing, although there are some actions in which you’ll need to perform some sort of timed action, such as throwing an object or dropping one.

There are a few more mini-games in this chapter than the previous one and it’s amazing. One I noticed straight away as a clone of a well-known Nintendo IP and was enamored by it.

Music

As with Undertale and Deltarune, Toby Fox released a banger soundtrack. The music was really good with a soundtrack of multiple styles and did a fantastic job of supplementing the mood with a soundtrack that just amplified the mood. I’m eagerly waiting on YouTube Music to put the Chapter 2 Soundtrack up…I love listening to music in my car from there.

Characters

Many characters from Deltarune Chapter 1 return in this game in various forms, and there are also many new characters you’ll meet in the game. The great thing about the Undertale/Deltarune series is that each character, either player characters or NPCs, have distinct personalities.

Conclusion/Rating

This game has been a roller coaster of a ride and if I know Toby Fox, I know that I’ve only scratched the surface with what this game has to uncover. There are a few more chapters coming down the path so I’m excited to see where the story goes past this. The ending left me on a gigantic cliffhanger and while the chapter itself was only around 6 hours, I had an incredibly enjoyable time with it!

I’m going to give this game a rating of:

4.5/5
