Rivals of Aether now on Steam Greenlight!

Rivals of Aether is an independently developed, Smash-inspired 2-D fighting game by a small team of talented indie developers. It beautifully combines Smash's core elements while bringing new features, making for a refreshing yet familiar experience. Along with that, Rivals of Aether boasts a wide variety of unique stages and characters, as well as a retro look and a catchy chip-tune soundtrack.

Steam Greenlight is a service that allows indie devs submit their games to Steam with the help of the fans.​

Previously, the only way to purchase Rivals of Aether was downloading it for Xbox One, but now, the Rivals of Aether team hopes to bring the game to Steam - and they need help! By visiting its Steam Greenlight page and saying "Yes" to the given question, you can help Rivals of Aether get on Steam.

Captain Falcon expy or no buy.

 

*immediately votes yes for it*

 

Hey guys! Excited to be writing here.

Thanks so much to The Derrit for this opportunity.

 

Y NO ESHOP?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

The logo reminds me of Megaman X!
The game itself seems to be pretty good. I hope it's a success. Also, it could be released in eShop! I think it could have Smash 4 itself as concurrence, but maybe Nintendo themselves would promote it too along other "Nindies"

 

I need this

It seems like it will be so fun xD

 

I've watched gameplay of this game a few times before. It looks kind of dumb tbh. I'd rather just stick to Smash Flash if I wanted to play a Smash-like indie game.

Really good!! I'm hoping for a PC release :D.

 

[Hype intensifies]

 

Forsburn is a lot like Marth O.o

 

Looks pretty solid. Props to the developers for creating such a nice-looking IP.

Though I am still holding out for an indie game Smash Bros. with Shovel Knight, Shantae, and Quote.

 

this looks awesome!

 

This game is something I need to play real soon.


Looks really good XD

yaaasss, bish.

 

I saw @shofu streaming this all day yesterday and I was like like wut

 

I need to check this game out. I'm not a huge fan of games other than Smash in this "genre" (Digimon Rumble Arena and TMNT Smash-up were meh to me) but this has renewed my faith. Can't wait!

I was on stream call with him yesterday. I was really surprised him and styles both got into the game. Zef got a playtester build today as well haha.

 

You have my support!

 

Looking forward to it!
I got Skullgirls, King of Fighters and Virtua Fighter in my Steam library.

I look forward to adding Rivals of Aether along with the likes of Street Fighter, Divekick, and so on!

next week...in the new Ninty direct...

 

That fire guy with the smoke screen and dagger ****ing sold it for me. I love that cloak and dagger play style idea.

 

Maining Based Kragg when this comes out.

The developers on Steam said they're looking into that in the future after the initial PC release. So it's up in the air.

They'll also likely have a Linux and Mac release as well from what I gather, especially the latter.

 

Brace yourselves...

 

Brace yourselves...

Nah m8.

 

woot woot woot

 

Cant't wait for this game! It looks like it'll be a great competitive game!

 

I've watched gameplay of this game a few times before. It looks kind of dumb tbh. I'd rather just stick to Melee I wanted to play a Smash game.

Lol hell no. Melee is terrible. I'd play it if I wanted to play a horribly imbalanced game with poor controls though.

 

Is this by the same people who made super smash land in game maker? I noticed Orcane's move set is like Vaporeon with the bubbles aerial and up b teleport.
Edit*: Nvm, just found out it is made by the same people, sweet.

 

Holy ****! This game looks effing sweet! How have I not heard of this until now? Take my money

 

Where are the waifus? Im not a furry

 

All the characters look like melee characters on steroids.

 

Honestly I'm not interested in this at all but I really like the logo! The characters don't seem to have much character to me lol
