I said I wouldn’t talk about all the characters, but I would like to talk about one of the characters to help showcase just how much care has gone into each available Rival. No matter the player’s playstyle or skill level, there is a character for everyone that enjoys a good ol’ brawler. Since I’m trying desperately to refrain from talking about each character individually, I will just say that the eight characters (two have to be bought with ingame coins) are all interesting in their own way. Beyond their visual differences, each Rival has a wholly exclusive moveset that utilizes one of four elements. I’d argue the characters are the most visually impressive part of the game since they all have unique designs, animations, and movements. Whether it be the arenas, hit effects, backdrops, menus or character designs. That old-school feel completely dominates the title’s visuals everywhere you look.

I’m not sure if it’s the fast pace and full sound or the very old-school feel that it has, but it all just works so well. I truly can’t express exactly how well these tunes make you want to brawl. One of the very first ways I saw (or rather heard) this passion was when I booted the game up and I heard that sweet, sweet retro fighting music from flashygoodness. Every aspect of this game shows just how passionate the team behind it must be. In the time since, the creator, Dan Fornace, and his crew have introduced a plethora of changes and improvements that have effectively transformed the game. Just a little over a year ago, Rivals of Aether joined Xbox’s Game Preview Program. The pixelled visuals are pleasant and provide extremely dynamic and smooth animation.// Reviews // 26th Aug 2017 - 5 years ago // By Tyler Schurwan Rivals of Aether Review Released on XONE and PC, Rivals of Aether utilises old-school, 2D graphics inspired by 16-bit computers and consoles hits. In the Versus mode, available for local and Internet clashes, you combat other players in 1v1 or 2v2 modes. In the Abyss mode, alone or with friends, you need to fend off waves of opponents and try to survive for as long as possible. In the Story Mode, you combat lots of AI-controlled enemies and in the meantime unfold Aether’s story and mysteries.
The production by Dan Fornace offers a number of diversified game modes for single and multiplayer. Apart from basic abilities and attacks, each possesses three powerful offensive skills that draw on one of the elements. The characters available are immensely interesting – representing Aether’s races, they are crosses between different animal species. You can use them during combat by jumping from one ledge to another, just like in classic platformers. However, these are not flat all the way – they feature loads of different platforms, like walls, roofs, tree branches. Gameplay consists in fighting battles on diverse, two-dimensional arenas.
