Everything We Know About DELTARUNE
DELTARUNE Story Plot
DELTARUNE takes place in a parallel universe from UNDERTALE, where all of its characters live in the same world, albeit in very different conditions. Furthermore, new characters join the fold, from Kris, Susie, Noelle, and Ralsei. Most notably, DELTARUNE is an anagram of UNDERTALE, similarly to how a new major character, the aforementioned Ralsei, is an anagram of Asriel, one of the major characters in UNDERTALE. Toby Fox has clarified that though there will be countless similarities and familiarities between the two games, they are completely different and separate experiences and universes, and that the names and characters are the most similar aspects they will ever have.
DELTARUNE is the story of Kris and a highschool bully Susie who enter a closet room in school to find themselves in the Dark World, where they can wield all sorts of magical powers and are destined to save the world, as foretold and guided by Prince Ralsei. Through their adventures, the three of them meet all kinds of zany characters, such as the lovable Lancer. At the end of each day, the two journey back to their world and become closer friends after each adventure.
DELTARUNE Gameplay
DELTARUNE is a story-driven RPG, where combat is classically turn-based but with the Toby Fox twist. Similarly to UNDERTALE, you are able to talk and conversate with your enemies to end conflicts without hurting them, i.e. Pacifism. You may control each character by telling them what to do for each turn, be it FIGHTing, ACTing, using MAGIC, DEFENDing, or giving MERCY.
It also incorporates the Touhou/Bullet Hell dodging mechanic that determines enemies’ attacks and how you take damage, similar to UNDERTALE.
