UNDERTALE

[DragonDePlatino]

I guess it's just me then.  There's nothing inherently wrong with simplicity, but when looking at screenshots/videos of a game, and I see something like this, that's mostly flat colored with minimal to no shading at all,

I think I can see the issue here. If you are judging the game by isolated screenshots or videos, you are not getting an accurate depiction of the game. Undertale is a game like Earthbound. The individual components are not impressive, but the game is greater than the sum of its parts. Once you pick up the game and get into it, the music, story and art comes together to create a very atmospheric game.

As an example, look at OFF, another particularly good indie RPG I have beaten several times:



That game looks awful, right? It's just a scribbly little sprite and big MS Paint rectangles! But once you play the game and everything gains context, it's a very immersive game. And no, OFF did not have good gameplay or story to fall back on. It was the atmosphere alone that kept me interested in the game.
