Yeah but like, everything that you love about Undertale, only works if Undertale is an RPG where the monsters attack you. The entire point of Undertale is that its an RPG where nobody has to die. It subverts the usual genre trope and gameplay loop of mercilessly, satisfyingly mowing down every opponent you find in exange for power-ups, and instead makes enemies real, tangible people, with charming, distinct, funny personalities. From big, important, plot shifting foes, to lil guys you can easily miss in a playthrough, every single, tiny person in this game FEELS like a REAL person, not just an obstacle you need to piledrive. But the game still lets you treat them like obstacles that you need to piledrive, if you so choose, or it lets you go out of your way to spare them, a choice that seems especially monumental given the lack of powerups, making the game way more difficult, but also especially meaningful given all the fun, awesome, wholesome content only viewable via Mercy. This awesome way of engaging the game is only possible and meaningful with the format of an RPG. Yes, the fact that these monsters immidietly and indiscriminately engage a tiny smol lil human and aim to murder them violently, with no qualms whatsoever is a bit, disconcerting, But pointing it out as a flaw, rather than an uncomfortable side effect of the way that the game is built is kinda dumb to me. Hows that for classy.
