Deltarune

Deltarune (stylized as deltarune) is a role-playing game developed by Toby Fox. It is described as a parallel story to Toby Fox's previous game, Undertale. The game follows Kris and Susie who fall into a dark world, meet Ralsei, the Prince from the Darkness, and are tasked to close the dark fountains of the Dark World. Revealed out of nowhere, this game was suddenly released on October 31, on a website called deltarune.com. Later on, the game was released for console players. The game has been planned to be split into multiple chapters. The second chapter was released on September 17, 2021.

Why It's a [BIG SHOT]

 * 1) The soundtrack is amazing. The clever uses of leitmotifs and catchy tunes really makes the soundtrack worthy enough to be a selling point, in fact, the best songs it has to offer have to be "Rude Buster" and "Big Shot".
 * 2) * Chapter 1's Credits soundtrack, sung by Laura Shigihara the composer of Plants vs. Zombies, is amazing. Chapter 2's credits theme takes a more lo-fi style.
 * 3) The combat has significantly improved from Undertale, aiming for a Final Fantasy-style combat system. Instead of fighting alone, you control a team of three (two in some segments of the game), the bullet hell patterns are as fresh as ever, and the magic and TP (Tension Points) mechanics are very unique takes on common RPG tropes.
 * 4) Random encounters, which were present in Undertale, were replaced with enemies showing up on the overworld, similar to EarthBound and even Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!
 * 5) The graphics are seemingly more expressive than Undertale's, with better facial expressions in text boxes, and more expressive animation. The colors are much more vibrant as well, and each character has their own color palette to distinguish them from each other.
 * 6) The dry, absurdist, and sarcastic humor is very hilarious, just like Undertale.
 * 7) The characters are also emotionally deep, and the relationships between them are very satisfying. For example, Susie's character development and relationship with Lancer and Berdly's relationship with Noelle are very complex and expressive.
 * 8) * It has many hilarious characters such as the Queen and Spamton.
 * 9) The writing in the game never feels forced and it is interesting with a lot of lore.
 * 10) A lot of characters return from Undertale, and it is very interesting to learn the differences between their Undertale counterparts and their Deltarune counterparts.
 * 11) Very captivating cliffhanger in Chapter 2 where Kris assumingly opens up a dark fountain in Toriel's house, which will not only set up the story of Chapter 3, but also leave tons of room for theorization.
 * 12) The choices that you can do in the game like fighting or sparing is present and is still good, but sadly, it's not as important as the choices in Undertale.
 * 13) The story does not use any clichés and it is somewhat unpredictable. In fact, the game makes fun of clichés at times.
 * 14) The tone is good, and the game knows when to be serious and/or hilarious. Examples include the Forest, which has a playful tone, and the Card Castle, which has a pretty serious tone.
 * 15) Memorable, funny and memeable lines, such as "Chaos, chaos, everywhere!", "Your machine suck ass. Is that OK? YES/NO". "Kris Get The Banana", "Now your chance to be Big Shot", mostly everything that the Queen says and Berdly's "Nooooooooooo" after learning that the Queen only plays mobile games.
 * 16) The entire Create A Machine to Thrash Your Own Ass sequence is pretty hilarious, especially if you create a duck robot.
 * 17) * In Chapter 2, you will encounter the machine you designed as a boss battle along with Rouxls.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The game doesn't feel as unique as Undertale, since most of the game's elements borrow from Undertale and from other RPGs.
 * 2) There are sometimes not enough save points in Deltarune.
 * 3) The infamous teacup minigame in Queen's basement.

Reception
Deltarune received "generally favorable reviews" according to Metacritic, with a user score of 8.9/10.

Trivia

 * The song "Rude Buster" was used in a looped meme where Rick Mitchell from mh:greatestmovies:The Mitchells vs. the Machines panics over a computer.
