Kill 'em all. Or not.
Undertale was kind of a hit, and that's an understatement, as it was one of the games that put the indie scene front and center. It's sort of an RPG, but not really.
I liked it. The characters were endearing and combat was quite innovative, mixing turn based battles with bullet hell curtains, and it worked. The plot does some fun stuff with the 4th wall, which I really enjoyed, and talking down monsters always produced interesting results.
The genocide route, in which you try to kill everyone is sort of a bore though. I get it, I get it, the encounter rate drops so hard to simulate you actually searching for every last monster, but boy, does it drag. The difficulty also increases quite a lot, as nothing in the game can prepare you to fight the heroes of that route.
Undertale is everything you've heard it is, no surprise there.
