I did some research and the guy voicing Asgore is from Atlanta, Georgia. So maybe it's an "American trying to do a British accent" situation?

My first thought was that its american english but with this peculiar intonation i dont know it doesnt strike me as British but maybe ur right

Considering this character I wouldn't be surprised if he's just trying to do a "fantasy" accent

He's just doing a theatrical old British accent, like the type you might use to preform Shakespeare.

It sounds like an American putting on a southern English accent. It's not actually terrible, but some of the vowel sounds are kind of off.
