Top 10 Things Undertale Actually Got Right that Most Other RPGS Really Didn't
The Top Ten
1 Not requiring ludicrous amounts of experience/skill grinding in order to beat it (outside of the Genocide run)
2 Actually taking the time to fully and thoroughly characterize the characters, right down to literally every generic enemy you fight
3 Allowing you to actually dodge attacks through your own videogame skill rather than just arbitrary stats and dumb luck
4 Making choices actually matter
5 Having a relatively simple and easy-to-understand plot that leaves just enough to the imagination to provide a surprising amount of story depth regardless
6 Making the battles actually fun rather than just an annoying nuisance like they are in most RPGs
7 Making players actually legitimately feel for the characters
8 Making the "cute" characters cute in an actually realistic and reasonable way (in other words, not like Riki and Moogle)
9 Being surprisingly dark and serious yet lighthearted and humorous at the same time
10 Having a simple yet deep combat system
