Justin from InformedPixel says: "Rivals of Aether is exactly the breath of fresh air that the platforming fighter scene needed. While Smash Bros. itself isn’t exactly stale with the meta constantly in flux, having another title to fall back on when you want a change of pace is nice, and that’s what this game offers entirely. Unfortunately, I don’t think it has quite enough content or a large enough following to dethrone Smash Bros. as the king of the platforming fighters."
Rivals of Aether rollback netcode has finally debuted in open beta on Steam more than four years after this indie fighting game first launched.
Rivals of Aether Definitive Edition is coming to Switch! The Definitive Edition includes all previous special characters as well as new modes and ways to play.
The indie fighting game Rivals of Aether was first brought up for Switch back in January 2018. At the time, creator Dan Fornace said the team was looking into a release on Nintendo’s console, but stopped short of confirming plans officially.
