This is a game for smash ultimate fans, the evo FGC, and furrys
Je recommande ce produit à tout fan de jeux de combat et surtout de plateforme-fighter, le jeu est nerveux et jouissif au possible, et sa technicité et sa profondeur le rende vraiment intéressant à manier et à maîtriser.
What an amazing platform fighter! The core of the game has a little bit of something for everyone, regardless of your platform fighting background. There's a little bit of game feel from melee, project M, and Ultimate, as well as the original RoA. I have a number of friends that play different games and all of them feel at home in Rivals 2. Even more casual players have a lot to look forward to, with the items and stages that are currently in being a lot of fun, and the upcoming full release of workshop support allowing for an infinitely expanding roster (and if you've ever player RoA 1, you'll know the workshop tends to attract both serious, well thought out characters, and also some that are just silly/fun). The character kits are some of the most interesting and fun of any platform fighter, each character feeling carefully handcrafted, with every move having a use, and each with unique gimicks you don't see in other fighters. Every character has something you can place/interact with on the stage, which creates a unique form of gameplay that you don't find in other platform fighters, while universal tools like parry make sure these interactables (and projectiles) are never too oppressive. I've seen some complaints in the revies about the performance, but I have not experienced any issues myself, with the game performance or the rollback netcode. My main PC is pretty powerful, but I also frequently play on my steam deck, and it runs fine there as well. 10/10, my favorite platform fighter by far, and I can't wait for full workshop support in the next few months!

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
