Early access games rarely survive these days. Too often you see a cool trailer, drop your money for an unfinished game only for it to remain unfinished two years later. Day-Z anyone? I’m happy to announce Rivals Of Aether didn’t fall by the wayside. Their official release date is March 28th, 2017 for PC. No word on when the Xbox One version is coming. What we do know is that the game will launch with

Features:

Choose VERSUS MODE to duke it out in competitive 1v1 or 2v2 fights, or jump into a free-for-all.

Play STORY MODE to learn the backstory behind each rival and begin to uncover the hidden mysteries of Aether.

Dive into ABYSS MODE to see how many waves of shadowy fighters you can defeat and reach the leaderboards alone or with a friend.

Take your skills online in ONLINE VERSUS! Play against your friends or test your skills by finding opponents through matchmaking.

I purchased this game last year and instantly dropped it a week later. I wasn’t a big fan. The core mechanics are like Super Smash Bros. Melee, but I hated the weighty feel of the game. Every character feels like they have an anchor tied to their ankles. Rivals Of Aether is like the polar opposite of Brawlhalla. If you’re looking for a good Smash clone on PC & PS4, then that’s the way to go. But if you’re still interested in Rivals Of Aether, then peep the launch trailer below.
