Rivals of Aether II Review
Rivals of Aether II is a brilliant platform fighter that proves Super Smash Bros. isn’t the only in town. The follow-up to the indie hit’s pixel-art predecessor is a stunning 3D fighter with fast-paced combat.
A delicious mix of accessibility and depth is the game’s core. No matter your skill level, the smooth controls and diverse roster of 10 elemental fighters will entertain you for hours. From Maypul’s plant-based acrobatics to Zetterburn’s fiery attacks, each character has unique abilities.
FlashyGoodness’s electric soundtrack matches the intense action and the slick cel-shaded 3D graphics. Shields, ledge mechanics, and grabs add strategic depth while maintaining the series’ competitive drive. Significantly, rollback netcode streamlines online battles, an improvement over its predecessor.
Without tutorials and single-player content, newcomers may feel overwhelmed. Although easier than Super Smash Bros. Melee, the learning curve is steep. Free character additions are planned, but the small initial roster may leave players wanting more.
Rivals of Aether II is a polished and engaging platform fighter that captures its inspiration while defining its own identity despite these complaints. Fighting game fans get great value for $30, even though it’s mostly for competitive players.
