GamePlayersReview: In terms of game design, what the Count Lucanor does so well is blending the best of European and Japanese RPGs. The result is a game that feels familiar and yet also new. And actually, I find that to be a trait of the best game developers—they give you something familiar but new at the same time.

As the wait for Deltarune continues, this writer wanted to offer her readers a collection of similar experiences. Considering Undertale’s beginnings as an Earthbound hack, this piece aims to explore some of what could be considered Undertale’s family — games that also began with RPGMaker, were inspired by Earthbound, share a similar ideology, and games focus on reactive stories. Additionally, this piece hopes to highlight some of the lesser known Undertale-esque works, the ones readers might not immediately find when sifting through Google’s suggestions. As an added bonus, these games are budget-friendly - several of them are even free! Others range from $5-20. (Many were included in the BLM bundle on Itch.io, both Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass and Anodyne from this list are included.) There’s something for every Undertale fan in this list, so hopefully you readers will find something new to ease the anticipation for Deltarune!
XBA says: An interesting little indie game that deserves attention.
Zelda mixed with Silent Hill is The Binding of Isaac.
I thought it was Silent Hill: Book of Memories since that was technically a dungeon crawling RPG.
