So without further ado, we present 8 games to check out when you’ve finished playing Undertale. Undertale owes a lot to the Earthbound franchise. Undertale’s creator has revealed that he was heavily inspired by Earthbound because of its gameplay, quirky humor, and mysterious lore. However, unlike most JRPGs, Earthbound doesn’t feature random encounters or a medieval fantasy world like Undertale. The game takes place in a world like ours with a few twists relating to space-like creatures and supernatural powers.Įarthbound follows Ness, a young boy who ventures out into the world of Eagleland to collect eight melodies that’ll put an end to an alien named Giygas before he can set the reality of Eagleland into pure darkness. With his PSI/PK abilities and his incredible friends at his side, Ness aims to foil Giygas’s plans.Įarthbound, like Undertale, uses the number wheel to display its character’s health. The tongue-in-cheek humor displayed by Undertale’s characters took inspiration from the NPCs Ness and friends encounter on their journey.Įarthbound’s visuals still hold up today and can now be played on the Nintendo Switch via its online service.

If you’re dying to discover the in-depth similarities between Earthbound and Undertale, feel free to check out the game through the service. Toby Fox, the creator of Undertale, wanted to take on another project even though the game continues to sell well in many countries.
