Deltarune is an episodic RPG by Undertale creator Toby Fox, blending turn-based combat, bullet-hell mechanics, and narrative surprises in a parallel yet familiar world. Players control Kris, a human teenager guided by Susie and Ralsei, as they venture through the mysterious “Dark World” to seal magical Dark Fountains and uncover a deeper narrative.

MASTER COMBAT IN A CHAPTER-BASED RPG

In Deltarune, every encounter blends classic turn-based RPG tactics with real-time bullet-hell dodging. As Kris, you’re joined by Susie and Ralsei, each with unique stats, weapons, and abilities. Combat offers multiple approaches: attack enemies directly, use magic to heal or deal damage, or choose non-violent actions to pacify foes.

During enemy turns, you enter a “bullet board” where you dodge patterns of projectiles — from slow-moving shapes to frantic swarms — each tied to an enemy’s personality. Outside battles, the game shifts to puzzle-solving, exploration, and dialogue choices that subtly influence character interactions and narrative tone.

Shops, hidden rooms, and side quests offer extra gear, lore, and secrets for those who explore thoroughly. Combined with a rich soundtrack that reacts to the action, every moment feels purposeful — whether you’re laughing at a quirky NPC joke or dodging the deadliest attack in the Dark World.
