The Retro Game That Inspired Undertale's Unique Approach

The Retro Game That Inspired Undertale's Unique Approach

Undertale, a beloved indie game celebrated for its clever satire of traditional RPG mechanics, owes much of its existence to the retro title Moon: Remix RPG Adventure. Released in the late 1990s, Moon subverted typical role-playing game conventions, presenting players with a narrative that questioned the very essence of heroism and the morality of their actions in-game.

In Moon, players assume the role of a character who is not the hero but rather a bystander in a world where the typical RPG tropes are turned on their head. The game emphasizes themes of compassion and understanding rather than combat and violence, encouraging players to engage with the world in a more meaningful way. This innovative approach laid the groundwork for Undertale’s development, as it similarly invites players to consider the consequences of their choices and the importance of empathy.

The influence of Moon can be seen in Undertale's unique gameplay mechanics, where players can choose to spare enemies instead of fighting them, fostering a sense of connection between characters. This legacy highlights the importance of innovation in the gaming industry, proving that even the most unconventional ideas can lead to groundbreaking experiences.
