Deltarune Chapters 3 & 4 Reviews
Even though the journey is only halfway to completion, Deltarune's incredible story is already bursting with hilarious charm, unforgettable characters, and an iconic soundtrack that make it worth investing your time in.
Once you've spared an enemy enough times, you'll also recruit them.
Deltarune is a game that can feel odd to recommend, as it's both difficult to convey in words what makes this game feel special and… well, it still isn't done. Its goofy and subversive narrative, innovative battle mechanics, and killer soundtrack all combine to make this one worth the purchase in its current state, even if it is unfinished and the visuals still feel a tad underwhelming.At any rate, I'd suggest you pick this one up; there's no telling when the story will finally wrap up, but the release of the latest two chapters has done a lot to round out what once felt a little anaemic.
Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 is the tangible explanation of why indie is beautiful, as well as being the confirmation that Toby Fox knows how to reinvent the 2D RPG with intelligence and irony like no other. A simply unmissable work, if you consider yourself a gamer.

Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 are worth the wait due to the content and story presented. Susie's character arc is very vulnerable and will bring you to tears, Kris's mystery thickens, and the world expands meaningfully and emotionally. The humour and heart that made Undertale and early Deltarune chapters special are still here, with more polish, questions, and challenges. And with six chapters still to come, we're only just getting started.
The game is not shy about being uncomfortable, naively silly and at the same time resolutely serious, funny to the point of colic and sad to tears, it cleverly and good-naturedly ironizes our world and the gaming industry and at the same time selflessly tries to find answers to complex existential questions. But most importantly, Deltarune gives sincere and pure emotions and remains in the heart for a long time.

Deltarune is a subversive epic that defies conventions and keeps the laughs coming every minute of its lengthy runtime. The most staggering aspect of it is that this isn't even its final form. Purchasing Deltarune chapters 1-4 is a ticket for the eventual chapters 5-7, which will expand the scope of the story and surely take things in an unpredictable direction if the conclusion of chapter 4 is anything to go by. Undertale wasn't without its faults and neither is Deltarune, but once the story, gags, and characters unfold, it's the kind of game that lingers, leaving a powerful and unforgettable experience. It's the kind of lasting impression that supersedes flaws.
Deltarune isn’t just Toby Fox’s best work to date, but it is looking to be one of the best games of the 21st century so far. I can’t rate it just yet, since for all I know, Fox could completely drop the ball with chapters 5-7. That said, with how chapter 4 concludes, I can’t wait to see what he’s got planned next and to see how he continues to deliver on a game that is already a masterpiece.
Is Deltarune worth purchasing? Yes, 100% yes. It’s such a unique and quirky title with so much to discover in its more than 20 hours of gameplay across the two routes currently. In addition, that purchase is your down payment on another 3 chapters of the game, a game that is getting bigger and quirkier with every chapter to the point I wouldn't even be able to hazard a guess at where the game will end up. While the world is still lavishing praise for several recent releases being a return to form for the JRPG genre, why not take a walk on the wild side and join the fun squad with the anti-RPG, rebellious teenager who has an obsession with anime, monsters, and bullet hell? Deltarune is one helluva drug.
A must-play for UNDERTALE fans, DELTARUNE is an experience that delivers as much excellence as its predecessor (if not more, considering the amount of content offered), improving combat mechanics and featuring an equally impeccable soundtrack. It's fun, funny, captivating and exciting.

Chapters 3 & 4 push DELTARUNE into bold new territory—richer storytelling, creative gameplay shifts, and a soundtrack that still stuns. Chapter 3’s underwhelming pace may divide players, but the series’ heart and mystery remain stronger than ever.
Deltarune Chapters 3 & 4 may not be the best jumping-on point for the series, but now's the best possible time to get into Deltarune. It's available on more systems, is in a nice and convenient package, and is extremely affordable. It's a strange little RPG that earned a cult following for a reason, and I can only hope we don't have to wait another four years for the next chapter.
