Episode 46: Episodic Content that Deteriorates in Quality Over Time

Lucretia boldly asks Kate an unexpected question: Is Chapter 5 even good? Is Deltarune good? We talk about the criticisms we have about the game, take a closer look at the gameplay mechanics, and think about the folks that don’t connect with the game. Then we escape on the money plane.

Check out Lucretia on YouTube, home of the Money Plane YTP collab featuring Kate and many others.

Topics: Halloween and election fever. Inconsistent RPG elements. Bullet hells. Gaster dess lostgirl medias. What’s going on with the no-recruits route? Secret boss gimmicks vs. regular fights. Talkin’ about Touhou and Zelda. Ramb. Where the women at? Platforming ruled ok. Backtracking and traversal. Kate liked the climbing. The vaguepost king and the suicide cowboy. Chapter 1 nostalgia is weird for players who didn’t wait 8 years. Why am I doing a podcast about a game that isn’t my favorite? Castle Town doesn’t work. Spamton, Queen and Yiik.

We reference Episode 40 with Andrew Cunningham, Episode 8, part 2, about OFF, Episode 23, about YIIK and Episode 9, about Rouxls.
