June 2025
If I were to compare Athenian Rhapsody to its inspiration Undertale, I would say Undertale is a lot more substance over style, while Athenian Rhapsody is a lot, and I mean A LOT, more style over substance. The game is flashy, loud, and quite pretty to look at that's for sure. However, there is much to be desired with its writing that feels like it doesn't feel like a final draft, setups that end in small or no payoff, and characters that are very one note until the game insists they aren't. There just isn't much depth to this game that claims to be all about you and your personal journey playing it, and that sucks. Yet, despite the lack of substance, I didn't find myself having a bad time with this game at all. In fact, I loved the hell outta it! The presentation is nice, the pixel art is done immaculately, and there are a few banger songs I have added to my playlist! And as for the negatives, they aren't exactly deal breakers either. The characters, while one note, are charming enough, and the writing is so silly that I found myself charmed and smiling even if it isn't the next shakespear. This game isn't bad at all, and I recommend everyone give it a try! It clearly has a lot of soul and passion behind it and the people who say its just "Lol random bullsh!t" or "trying too hard" need to stop taking this brazenly silly game so seriously. The game is goofy and it wears that goofiness on its sleeve! So if you want a fun title oozing with style, and aren't so up your own ass that you can just enjoy the ride, Athenian Rhapsody is a must get in my opinion!

Like if Earthbound, Wario ware and Undertale all had a baby, but does it's own thing enough to be unique too. Though a lot of the characters can be a little...out there, true, that uniqueness of it all was what won me over, and there can be some surprisingly sentimental moments in parts depending on your actions as well. Definitely a game that encourages observing the wacky world around you as well, and a fun experience due to that and it being as unique as previously stated. "I'm about to zero to end you in the most disrespectful way possible" has now entered my amusing sentences knowledge because of my route actions, thanks game, very cool. Just DON'T go into this expecting an easy rpg, this gets *hard* and there is no shame in using the 'story mode' in options should it get a lot, and stock up on as much healing and defence items as you can. Some folk might really like that challenge though, but be warned about that if you give this a go!

Firstly, this game is very bright, very colorful the music is very dynamic and memorable, and the characters all have personality traits that make them either endearing or funny. Secondly, if you don't like rhythm games and memorizing attack patterns, this is not the game for you. Thirdly, even though I haven't finished the game I've enjoyed a played so far, even though the combat is pretty unforgiving.

Deltarune if it wasn't freaking around While you could take a glance at it and call it some "le quirky undertale clone about le depression" it would be a huge disservice. Athenian Rhapsody has it's own story to tell, one of self reflection, with the whole thing being a test recorded in a save file you can show your friends. All while wrapped in a much more comedic style as compared to similar titles. It's genuinely one of the most charming games I have played in a long while. And all of it was made by mostly one guy (another guy did the soundtrack and it's filled with bangers). Only gripes I could really say about it is that while the writing for most of the companions don't really have anything good for pacifist runs despite that, GOTY for me hands down, crabmeat companion for Athenian Rhapsody 2 PLEASE

Let me preface by saying, overall, it is a pretty good game. However, let’s get this out of the way. This is basically an Undertale fan game. There are elements that feel like 1 to 1 copies , and that is fine. Undertale was a huge game, and it makes sense that it would inspire games heavily . The combat is solid, and it is mostly charming. I know some people feel like Undertale’s humor was forced, or “cringe” , but I always felt those people were just being joyless. However, AR kind of cranks the “humor” up to an 11, and there were moments where I was feeling what others must have felt about undertale. It doesn’t help that most of the characters get very little depth or things to do , so they basically show up, do some random wacky stuff, join your party, and then never do anything again. All that being said, if a wackier undertale sounds appealing to you, it is surprisingly polished , and there are lots of little variables and choices to make, so it is worth a shot.
