Rivals of Aether II features an exciting base roster of new and returning characters - with post-launch plans to add additional playable characters to the game for free!

While I wish there was a story mode, and i do kinda miss the abyss mode from the first game, this game is very fun, quite pretty and the pictures you get when you beat a characters Arcade mode are a very nice detail :3

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 3.56/day in the week to Aug 4 → 6.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
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.

I played Melee on the gamecube, watched the smash doc and picked up Project M with my friends. It created an inseparable bond to the platform fighter genre. This game has been the closest of them all to tap to that same fluid style. I believe in the dev team and the publishers and I wish i could convince other folks to give this a try. Disregard the sweats and the haters too deadsest on the mechanics. When you start schmooving it hits just like the old smash titles did
Furry Melee
Got it 50% off and its 100% worth it at this price. If it was around this or $20 normally this would be a no brainer recommendation permanently. La Reina is awesome
the game is the perfect sequal to rivals of aether 1. its just the first game but better
Amazing game! Everything feels pretty balanced and plays very smooth, tbh I would say I prefer this over SSBU, now i just gotta convince my friends to try it.
Better than Smash Bros. Be honest besides the Nintendo goats its not beating this game. ♥♥♥♥ smash bros doesn't get supported EVO tournaments and Nintendo doesn't even consider it a fighting game.
