Skip it if you…

- Players looking for a completed story may not want a game whose additional chapters are still planned.
Our take on DELTARUNE
The battles combine bullet-dodging with a choice to fight or spare, making that decision part of the encounter rather than a separate story prompt.
What is DELTARUNE?
DELTARUNE is a chapter-based RPG set in a parallel story to UNDERTALE.
Explore a mysterious world alongside new characters and familiar faces, then choose whether to fight or spare enemies in battles built around dodging bullets. The game uses pixel animation and includes a soundtrack and story written by Toby Fox. Its linear chapter structure allows play to begin from any chapter. Chapters 1–5 are available now; the story is continuing, with additional chapters planned as free updates. Chapters 1 and 2 can be played for free, while later chapters require purchase. The vendor identifies hidden bosses as especially difficult and says the game has one ending.
