Putting aside the META elements, the plot of "Undertale" itself is actually quite excellent.
The game is filled with many interesting and charming characters.
For example, Shans holds a fart pad in his hand and shakes hands with the protagonist of the game, and his Papyrus is keen on blocking the protagonist with puzzles.
Shansi, who looks very lazy, likes to tease his brother Papyrus by telling puns about skeletons.
His brother Papyres is very keen on using puzzle mechanisms to block the protagonist, but when the protagonist does not take the initiative or has no way to solve the puzzle, he takes the initiative to reveal the answer to the puzzle.
A doctor who is like a homebody.
What shocked the players was what Shansi said in the splendid corridor before facing the final BOSS battle in the game.
Here Shansi will begin to judge everything the player has done.
From Shansi's mouth, we can know that EXP is not the so-called experience value, but execution points, which means execution points.
And LV is not what players understand, nor is it simply LOVE, but the abbreviation of Level of Violence, which is the meaning of violence level.
Every time the player kills a monster, the execution points will increase, and as the execution points increase, the violence level will also increase.
It's not experience points, nor character levels, but the violence index in the game.
This is where "Undertale" subverts previous RPG settings.
Killing monsters and leveling up should be a matter of course for most RPG players.
But it's different in "Undertale".
For most players who have just experienced it, they have played the first ordinary ending. When they come into contact with Xiaohua, they are shocked by its content.
But if at the end of the normal ending, the player chooses not to kill Xiaohua, then he will know how to achieve a peaceful ending from his mouth.
In the peaceful ending, players need to make friends with each monster through conversation without killing any monsters.
In the process of this ending, players can discover that these monsters have their own characteristics.
Monsters that look ferocious have a cute side. For example, the fish sister Andaine is a textbook tsundere!
[Listen humans, we don’t just want to be friends]
[We will become best friends]
[I want you to be unable to extricate yourself from me]
[This is my perfect revenge]
Under Papyris's 'provoking method', the legendary captain of the Royal Guard accepted a friend like the protagonist.
She also gave her a cooking class, which burned down her house.
Skeleton Brothers, Sheep Mother, Fish Sister...
Especially when facing the final BOSS king and the sheep mother's son, the lamb, it made countless players cry.
in this battle
When you die, it does not mean that the game has failed.
Instead, a line of subtitles will appear: Your determination refuses.
Finally, with the determined help of countless friends, the player finally defeated the little sheep.
At the same time, I also learned some stories about the background of the game from Xiaoyang’s mouth.
A long, long time ago, a human child fell underground and happened to be rescued by a lamb, and then taken in by the king and the sheep mother.
They became best friends, but then for some reason, he lost that friend.
So the little sheep absorbed the soul of the first child, turned into an extremely powerful being, and had the power to pass through the barrier. The little sheep left the underground and came to the surface to fulfill his friend's last wish.
However, it was mistaken by humans for killing its first child and attacked. In the end, the scarred lamb staggered back home, then fell to the ground and turned into a cloud of dust that spread throughout the garden.
And its determination was poured into a golden flower. This is the origin of the little flower.
In this final battle, Xiaoyang finally found relief and let go of the pain he had been clinging to.
Both the normal ending and the peaceful ending were obtained.
It seems that the players should be satisfied like this, but curiosity is human nature. Service points, execution points, and the evil side of Xiaohua all seem to drive the players to explore another ending.
And in this ending, the player truly felt an indescribable shock and a kind of spiritual thinking.
… … …
Sitting in front of the computer, Jiang Ping's expression was very serious at this time.
'There are 3 left in the current scene'
What appears on the display is a prompt.
In the scene of the underground world, all the monsters have been slaughtered, and there are only three monsters left in this scene that have not yet been found.
The map was empty, and the previously bustling tavern was dead silent.
At this time, Jiang Ping had an indescribable feeling.
Because "Mirror" is a gentleman's game, he is also very curious about Chen Xu's new work "Under the Legend".
The disdain you feel when you first enter the game, and the shock you feel when you clear it.
After reaching the normal and peaceful endings, he became curious about the so-called killing ending.
But now he feels that he has some regrets.
In the previous game, the monsters that were still his friends died in his hands one by one, just to simply satisfy the conditions of the game's plot.
Including Papyrus, this little angel-like skeleton, even when he was dying, he still believed that he could change his ways.
[What a good excuse? You must know better than anyone how relieving this approach can be!]
[But at least we are better than those hypocrites who look on coldly at evil. Those poor guys want to see it, but are too cowardly to do it themselves!]
The narration in the game is full of sarcasm.
But he still didn't stop.
All monsters can be killed with one blow.
Until he met the Royal Guard Captain Yu Sister again.
Next to a waterfall, Andean appeared and blocked a knife from a monster like a little soybean.
As captain of the Royal Guard, she protected the underworld's monsters, but now she says she's let those people down.
But just when she was about to die, the exciting BGM sounded.
The wind roared, accompanied by a flash of white light.
Determination fish appears.
[This hero reinvented himself through his 'determination' to save the world]
Listening to the exciting BGM called Fighting with the Real Hero, Jiang Ping felt a great irony.
The game's monsters are dubbed heroes.
But the protagonist he manipulated was doing what a monster should do.
This is by far the hardest battle he has fought in the game.
After working hard to kill Sister Yu, he continued to move forward, and finally he came to a familiar place.
The throne hall was resplendent, and a familiar figure was waiting in front.
Before that, Shansi will judge the player's actions.
And now
No more unnecessary nonsense.
Entered directly into the combat stage.
[What a beautiful day today is!]
[Birds are singing and flowers are blooming!]
[On a day like this, people like you...]
[Should be burned in hell...!]
As soon as he finished speaking, an offensive like a tide swept over him, instantly killing Jiang Ping who was unprepared.
Keep working hard, keep trying.
Finally, when he was about to defeat Shansi.
Shansi in the game seems to have thought of a way, which is to never move during his own turn.
But unfortunately Shansi failed.
While Shan Si was resting, he quietly moved to attack, attacked and killed Shan Si.
Then Xiaohua appears, and unlike Xiaohua in the normal ending, Xiaohua at this time is full of fear of the protagonist and begs not to kill it.
The next moment, eight consecutive knives chopped it into pieces.
Everything seemed to be over, but at this moment a person appeared that stunned Jiang Ping.
Chara, the first human to fall into the underground world, was awakened from death.
Two choices appeared in front of him, choose to destroy the world, or not to destroy it.
Looking at the dead darkness and the weird Chara.
Jiang Ping only felt extremely depressed.
At first he just wanted to know the plot of the ending.
He regretted it halfway, but he didn't stop.
But now, this feeling of regret is even stronger.
So he chose no.
But the next moment, Chara's expression turned gloomy.
[You seem to have misunderstood something? When is it your turn to call the shots?]
As Chara's words appeared, the sword flashed.
The game screen trembled, and a series of blood-red damage numbers of 9999 filled the screen.
Then the entire game automatically shuts down.
Is this the ending of the massacre line
Jiang Ping, who was sitting in front of the computer, took a deep breath and pursed his lips.
