Dungeons of Aether

Man the combat in this game is just putrid and one dimensional.

love it, v good, i'll probably come back to replay after slade gets added to rivals (please please please please)

The game has a very interesting approach to turn-based battles. Each turn a handful of dice are rolled, you and your opponent takes turn picking them up and then allocating them to your stats - for this turn - according to dice color. Battles are very short, since enemies have between 2-4 and HP, but every turn matters and this game is a pleasant excercise in strategy. What I enjoyed the most are the characters of course. Their designs, animations, personalities and dialogues, instantly fell in love with them. Main campaign is relatively short, but there is also a challenge run mode, which can be a source of endless fun.

really addicting turnbased rpg. the combat is very simple, but the stat draft system kinda adds some mindgames to it and the four characters all play wildly differently from each other which helps to add some variety, I think. it's also a fairly short game, so it doesn't overstay its welcome. music bangs. fleet is cute i love her

это кубики, фурри и стратегия - что может быть лучше? в целом обожаю вселенную райвалсов, новые персонажи тут просто во 👍 стратегия с кубиками тоже имба идея, из похожего находила только Dicey Dungeons отдельно хочу отметить саундтрек игры - наверно из серии RoA он тут самый лучший)

Great, small game with deep, tactical puzzle-like combat. Set in the Aether universe, which is quite rich in lore, story is really nothing special. While the focus is on the characters, the things said or that happens outside the story are more than the one happening in the game. I may seems too critical, but to be fair I enjoyed it, and all character feel pretty unique. Especially loved how Fleet doesn't stay ubiquos for all the game, and there was a satisfying ending! But the focus of the game is mostly on the gameplay. Dungeon exploring is pretty minimal, even finding all the lore pages was quite easy. All the juice is in the combat. To me, it felt like a puzzle game that you try to solve, each encounter. You draft dice with the opponent, assigning them to your stats, and then choosing an abiility based on your SKILL (one of the stat) value. It's incredibly rewarding as there are no surprises at all: you can see the skill chosen by the opponent in any moment, and the order in which the ability are resolved is based on SPEED (another stat). Equips and personal ablities complete the frame, and are up for a great experience. I haven't got bored from a single fight (playing on hard), especially since health is a spare resource to keep from a fight to the other. Duration is less than 10 hours, which is fair. Bosses recycle themself pretty fast, and there are not too many enemies, but the characters in the different chapters are dievrse enough to keep the game inetresting. Some characters are exremely unbalanced compared to others, making the game either quite easy or quite challenging. Music is insanely good, and, most importantly, all the male characters are extremely hot

normaly this type of gameplay isnt my style of game but i wanted to try it because im a big fan of the aether franchise. i really loved it, like usual the sprite and music was really good. the gameplay was hard on somme enemies but i liked it too. and lastly the story was really nice. for those who know aether but is thinking if they should get this game pls try it at least if you want to know more about the lore of aether. you will not be disapointed

A keeper for sure, especially if you love the "Aether verse" lore, and that slammin' soundtrack, especially the battle songs!
