Choose a Rival to bring into the battlefield and manipulate the powers of the classical elements and animal movement. RIVALS OF AETHER is an indie fighting game set in a world where warring civilizations summon the power of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth.

Some characters, such as Kragg, have little more than brute strength and a basic element to manipulate, while others, such as Clairen and Forsburn, are able to time travel and stun opponents nigh-permanently with her blade, and be nearly untouchable with an army of smoke clones to do his bidding, respectively. The hax of the verse are very diverse, aside from the powers granted to every character through Parry. Kragg can throw a 10 tonne rock around like a baseball, Etalus is said to have the power of a glacier behind him, Zetterburn can burn down a massive town, Orcane can make a rain storm fast enough to put out the burning town before it is destroyed, Sylvanos can regrow an entire country-sized forest and threaten the planet's animal life, and Absa can create and sustain a storm, spanning an entire mountain range, so powerful that it makes attacking the mountains impossible. Characters can range from mundane to insane in feats, but the Rivals are all just that, rivals, and thus scale to each other.

The combatants of the verse will battle it out, with only the most skilled claiming victory.Īs a whole, the verse is surprisingly powerful. Each nation will protect its own, and seek to control and thrive among the others.
The nations are controlled by the four elements, fire, water, earth, and air, with representatives of each nation appearing in the game. Rivals of Aether (romanised as RIVALS OF AETHER) is an indie fighting game developed by Dan Fornace of Aether Studios.Ī land set in conflict between four nations, Rivals of Aether is a game set in a world broken into four pieces.
