Deltarune is halfway done, but it feels like a full game

It was a painful waiting for more Deltarune. The first chapter of the transverse story, parallel to the well -known Toby Fox RPG Threaten He went out nearly seven years ago. But the third and fourth chapters that have been newly released are so good that I am highly recommended to play everything available at the present time – even if there are three other episodes.

in DeltaruneYou play the role of Chris, a teenager who lives in a town inhabited by friendly animals and monsters. KRIS is appointed as a collective project with SUSIE, which is the foam in isolation, and they stumbled together in a place called The Dark World (a cache in school, naturally). There, they participate with the prince of the dark world, deal with heroic personalities, and try to search for dark fountains in the world-all while the team becomes friends all the way.

Both DeltaruneThe current four episodes generally focus on a new area of ​​the dark world inhabited by the villain. It is a kind of monster approach per week in telling stories, and it really works for the cross structure of the game. Through a series of concentrated adventures in sites with topics, the game tells satisfactory stories for each chapter, which is a few hours in length, but is widespread with bread crumbs that bear fruit in larger narrative moments along the way.

Proverb Threatenand DeltaruneBattles give you the option to fight enemies or “act” to try to “avoid” instead. The game is strongly encouraged to walk on the peaceful road by making unique moves for each enemy-as well as completely ridiculous, such as playing a small short game to try to capture the “mouse” enemy in a world under the headline.

Like also ThreatenWhen he attacks enemies in DeltaruneYour goal is to try to avoid their projectiles by moving around a small heart in the battlefield. Each enemy has different attack patterns that can be very strange: “MAUS” enemy can attack with mice (animals) or a roaming computer mouse indicator, for example.

These types of masks are everywhere DeltaruneAnd they made every conversation and battle they feel worth it for a period of nearly 15 hours of the chapters that came out now. There are many characters to talk to them and varying potential enemies to fight, but searching for each one is rarely a waste of time due to the size of the pun, jokes and foolish trick. (For the largest part of Chapter 3, it interacts with walking TV represents a gaming host.)

Lover Threaten You will get to know many familiar characters in DeltaruneLike Sans But you do not need to play Threaten To estimate the story in Deltarune. By Chapter 4, the story’s threads began to link it in ways that made me unexpectedly attached to my screen. (I haven’t seen even the passengers of the game or the alternative story.)

It will be a long time until we know if Deltarune The drop will stick. Chapter 5 is supposed to come out in 2026, and if we assume that there is a new installment per year, this means that the seventh and the last will not be launched until 2028. This is it. 10 years After launching the first episode. This fingers crossed not Wind winds The situation, but even if it is, DeltaruneThe first four chapters stand alone.

^{DeltaruneThe first four chapters are now available as a purchase paid on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and PC. New chapters will be added for free later.}
