Deltatroon is a mascot-horror game. It isn't in the same field as Cave Story or Touhou Project, it stands more comparatively to Garten of Banban, Hello Neighbor, and Fights Nights at Freddy's. This is also why there is such overlap with who is a fan of the games. The gameplay itself is a secondary goal (just like the creator is with shmups who instead of playing them, watched Youtube longplays) the primary goal was creating mascots. This is why the bullet-patterns are downright awful or overly simple, it's someone imagining what a shmup is like rather than playing them himself and why nonsensical bad mechanics are in it such as grazing (which has no reason to be there) or the poorly thought-out hitbox. This is also why anyone who enjoys shmups at more than a fandom-level don't enjoy Deltratroon / Tale. Personally, they would be more enjoyable if they embraced Warioware-styled microgames instead

Is this legit an alright game? I played earthbound but never undertale. And people here masterbate it a lot and reference it a lot so I'm just wondering from people who played it
