Rivals of Aether II

Buen juego, muy recomendado, se siente divertido y los servidores funcionan bien. Los gráficos son muy lindos también y los personajes se sienten únicos.

Game is fun as heck idk what else to say, play this ish also orcane is cute AF

To start, this is clearly a very well made game with a lot of fun potential and good ideas, that being said, I cannot recommend this game. I will say, I'm not super experienced at fighting games, and I'm not very good, but I WANTED to learn, I wanted to get better and improve, and I thought I would give that a try. I played against bots until I could be the hardest every time, it took, half hour maybe? not long, and thought hey i'll play my ranked matches, lose, and get better against actual opponents. Played those, lost all 5, basically didn't take a stock, super discouraging, didn't get to move, didn't get to play the game, didn't have any fun. But hey now that I'm stone league, I can work my way up right? Wrong, still didn't get do to anything, basically didn't get to move, every hit a combo, rapid dodge, ledge grabbing/guarding, etc, etc. I don't know if this community is just so old that even the worst players are seasoned veterans who can gate keep any player dumb enough to not have 1000000 hours in a fighting game, or if it has the worst smurfing problem of all time, but the games just 0 fun. Bots are so stupid easy, you learn absolutely nothing, go online, and there's literally 0 room to learn, improve, or have fun. Point being, if you have a TON of experience in brawlhalla, smash bro's, rivals one, or other games like it, give it a go! I bet you'll have fun, if you want to get into a fighting game and try to improve or have fun, RUN, don't give this game a second thought, don't buy it, don't waste your time, go play something else with a larger community in a game that's actually playable and don't waste your money

I want to love this game, but the state it's in leaves me with no other choice. While the art and music are fantastic, the gameplay is just too messed up to be fun. For one, It's borderline impossible to find lower level matches. This is because the most of the few people who play the game anymore are the experienced/pro players. Casual mode is almost completely unplayed and matchmaking at silver or lower takes hours. Then when you do get into a match your opponent will probably be playing an S tier character. So if you didn't also pick a top tier, you're basically guaranteed a loss. The reason why this is possible is because of how egregious the balancing of the characters is. The top tier characters are given the most bizarre ilogical combinations of great stats with no downsides. Like having crazy speed and reach (Clairen) or high damage and reach (Zetterburn.) Like the reason why you have to give characters debuffs is to balance out their positive stats, hence the term "balancing," because without them you just create god-tier forces that can be used with the smallest fraction of a braincell and still achieve high levels of success. The team even aknowledges that there are completely overpowered characters in the game, but say it's apart of a "healthy fighting game ecosystem," like wtf? You can't just have automatic win buttons, it ruins the whole point of picking a character. Instead of finding which fighter compliments your playstyle, your best bet is to pick the meta characters. You'll probably win even if you don't understand them! Like this literally renders everyone else obsolete. Why would I spend hours mastering a low tier character just to even come close to winning against the S-tiers. I know this game isn't catered towards casual players. It's supposed to be like Smash Bros. Melee after all. And it does have it's positives (i.e. the art direction is fabulous.) But there's no place to start as a new competitive player. You can't get better at the game because everyone else is so far beyond you (either because of genuine skill or playing the best characters.) I hoped that the game would improve as it went, and while it has, it hasn't been to enough of an extent to make it fun for me to play again.

esta lleno de tryhards, el juego esta muerto no lo compren

First off I DO NOT think this game sucks but I do have complaints. Truly I wish that I could play this game it looked like a lot of fun as someone whos played every Smash Bros game for the last 18 years and playing others like it like Multiverses, Brawlhalla, and even ROA1 this one just feels so sticky when it comes to attacks (I understand skill issue) but I cannot for the sake of my mental health and gaming accessories play this game any longer. The big issues I personally ran into are the controls menu being extremely cluttered and a bit unorganized often having to dive way deeper than what felt necessary to find what I needed (I was able to eventually find a control scheme that I really liked) I also found when first loading the game is my control profile would not save between game modes and would constantly have to quit the match in order to put it back however thankfully this was fixed after reloading the game. My biggest complaint however and again (skill issue) is the attack buffering, the attack buffering is very small, a universal 6 frame buffer where as SSBU has this absolutely made it in my opinion impossible to truly get into this game mixed with an insane amount of landing lag on basically everything it felt like I was trying to run in my dreams If I hear that they add a option to allow players better buffering through customization options that would be awesome but until than I can't do it Please play the game if you haven't already, have fun, get good. Bye

Just started with this game!

Original review: Gamecube Controllers dont work properly ingame. Which is a shame, especially since they worked like a charm in the first game. Guess the priorities lie elswhere development-wise. If you dont care about that and use a generic xbox-like pad, then i guess the game is alright. Edit: I changed my recommendation from negativ to positiv, because the developer reached out to me and i was able to solve my GC-controller issues. I tried alot of things with my settings beforehand, like the modes on the controller adapter or multiple steam input setups. None of them would solve the problem, that the c-stick had switched directions ingame. When the developer told me that console mode on the adapter should work, i gave it another try. So i booted up the game and there was no response from the controller on the title screen. Which is probably why i disregarded the console mode before. But when i hit the enter key on the keyboard, a message appeared which let to a quick setup of the GC-adatpter. Afterwards, the c-stick worked properly ingame. Hope this helps someone running into the same issue. Thanks to the developer Dan Fornace, who responded to my review. I accidentally did not allow comments on my original review. If i did, members of the community would have had a chance to help me out aswell.
