DELTARUNE - Why a True Genocide Route is Impossible to do

I'm pretty sure that when you guys got your hands on Toby Fox's Undertale sequel, Deltarune, you had on your mind how the genocide route would turn out in this game. And when you did get the chance to try it, you find yourself unable to kill anything at all. In fact, that is what the game is preventing you to do. But why? Just watch the video and close out all of those nasty doujins on your other tabs. We're gonna check out what's going on with the Deltarune Chapter 1 and why it seems like it is forcing you to do a pacifist route.

Please don't tell me you spent your entire Halloween playing Undertale 2 just like I did. Why did I do this? The game feels pretty short that it feels like something I wanna speedrun just for the heck out of it. I ain't doing it to make theories. Then again, I don't know how to do all of those dialogue skips in the original Undertale game, and I'm not sure if it applies here as well. I mean, I guess I could have done some practice runs but I ended up checking out some new Touhou doujins. There's this Futo one and WHOAAAAAAAA IT MADE MY SHIRT GET BLOWN INTO SMITHEREENS. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED EVERYTHING I WAS DOING. I SUPLEXED THE CHICKEN I THAWED OUT BACK INTO THE FREEZER AGAIN BECAUSE I KNEW WHAT'S UP. I GRAZED MYSELF SO MANY TIMES THAT I got pretty hungry and just ordered food. Rip my money again. What have I done? Please. Get my game too on Steam. Actually better yet. Please give me a jobbbbbbb. I'll program anything for you. Even if it's just a dumb website where you click on your waifu's head to give them a headpat. Or a program where you just flush the toilet. I don't care. Just give me burgers and save meeee from unemploymenttttt!!!

In Undertale, you are the hand of fate.
In Deltarune, you are a victim of fate.

[LeafRazorStorm]

You don't get it, do you? In this world, -it's kill or be killed- your choices don't matter.

[maxibustos]

Undertale:"it's kill or be killed"

Deltarune:"your choices don't matter"

[danielribeiro]

Toby Fox, 2015: Genocide or Pacifist... or Neutral I guess

Toby Fox, 2018: Yes or Yes

[Saturnares]

In Deltarune, your choices don't matter.
In Undertale, Chara says "Since when were you the one in control?"
Very similar huh?

[ArcaneMaiden]

Hay.
The moment I saw Deltarune's premise, I immediately got it.

Choice VS Fate.
Determination VS Destiny.

[centisaur]

Actually if you spare the JEVIL he becomes armor for you instead.

The Secret to Undertale/Deltarune:
K= Kris
F= Frisk
C= Chara
They secretly Work at KFC.

[samm.]

I don't know why, but there's something so bonechilling about the line *Your choices don't matter.* Chills. Every. Time. I have no idea why.

[TemmiePlays]

Did you notice you also can't die?
Fallen members heal each turn, and if you all fall, Gaster resets it.

Your choices don't matter.


For now.
Lancer not being king will have ramifications in later chapters.

[hansleano]

The secret boss item is actually diffrent
Pacifist=armor
Genocide=weapon

[gamerdomain]

ChairGTables: He still becomes a weapon for you. Just like when you spare him.
DEVILTAIL, an armor: Am I a joke to you?

[DatVoiceGuy]

Actually...if you think about it, when you first found a save spot, there was already a save file in there...with the previous name of KRIS. You chose to overwrite that file and thats where Chara took if you do a no save run?

[MrPinepple]

Wait... The game emphasizes a lot about how choices don't matter, DeltaRune is an episodic game with probably 5 chapters... Shit Toby's throwing punches at Telltale

[this...isabucket.]

Deltarune: We do NOT care about your choices.
Telltale games: *Allow us to introduce ourselves.*

[Luziferuz_]

ChairG: You CANNOT do a Genocide run in Deltarune.
Me:I CAN DO ANYTHING

[joksizantos]

Your choices doesnt matter, so basically you are playing a scripted movie. its scripted but interactive.

[EleanorDrapeaux]

You can actually deal 81 + 51 + 103 per turn. You have to buy the weapon for kris and hit on the mark with both characters. That would be 705 damage every 3 turns if you do it perfectly.

Someone should TAS this

[d]

A game giving you options but not giving different outcomes? What is this a telltale game?

Deltarune Chapter 2: Im boutta end this mans whole career
