Rivals
Zetterburn, a son of the ruling family of the Firelands, is an experienced and hardened warrior. In battle, Zetterburn uses no weapons except for his razor-sharp claws and ability to control flame.
- BURN DAMAGE - Zetterburn's special attacks can set opponents on fire, causing them additional damage over time.
- WILD FIRE - Zetterburn's Down Special places flames on the stage. These flames stay for a period of time, burning any opponents who come in contact with them.
- FIRE AMP - When an opponent is burning, Zetterburn's Strong Attacks can absorb the flames and launch the burned enemy twice as far, making for an effective killing blow.
Orcane is a playful trickster, notorious for escaping even the most precarious of situations. He can transform into water and confuse enemies with a spray of bubbles.
- PUDDLE TELEPORTATION - Orcane creates a puddle with his Neutral Special or Down Special. He can then teleport to his puddle using his Up Special as a powerful vertical blow or an effective recovery when launched off the stage.
- BUBBLE EVAPORATION - Orcane can turn his puddle into a pillar of bubbles with his Down Special to trap enemies above the puddle.
- WATER AMP - When standing on top of his puddle, Orcane can consume the water underneath him to perform powerful Strong Attacks with far greater range and knockback.
The youngest trainee in the history of the Air Academy, Wrastor has never lived by anyone's rules but his own. Currently an Aerial Ace for the Air Armada, Wrastor is wrecking havoc among the Armada's enemies and generals alike.
- WINGED FLIGHT - Wrastor can jump 4 times, making him incredible at controlling the air and recovering from the toughest falls even when things look grim.
- WIND CURRENT - Wrastor can create a Wind Current with his Forward Special, allowing him to move faster within it and chase his targets more effectively.
- AERIAL ACE - Wrastor performs his charged Strong Attacks in the air instead of on the ground, a first for this genre.
Kragg is a defender of the colossal Aetherian Forest. Deliberate and loyal, he is one of the infamous Wall Runners who patrol the Rock Wall. Unlike other Wall Runners, Kragg has the legendary ability to control the earth with his will.
- ROCK HURL - Kragg can pull a rock out of the ground and hurl it at opponents. After it leaves his hands, the rock becomes a solid piece of stage that either Kragg or other players can break.
- DEFENSE BALL - Kragg can curl into a ball and roll toward enemies. Although he can be damaged while in ball form, he cannot be knocked away.
- EARTH PILLAR - Kragg can summon a pillar of earth to his feet regardless of where he is. If Kragg is about to fall to his death, this move can quickly turn his situation around.
Forsburn is the disgraced, eldest son of the Firelands' ruling family. After being condemned by the Fire Council and his own brother, Forsburn found refuge in a group of outsiders who had rejected the flame and mastered the way of smoke.
- SMOKE SCREEN - Forsburn can use his Neutral Special to obscure the battlefield allowing Forsburn to remain hidden inside a cloud of smoke.
- DECOY - Through his Forward Special, Forsburn can create a smoke facsimile of himself that can attack opponents. The illusory Forsburn breaks into smoke after being hit by a single attack.
- CONSUME/COMBUST - By using his Down Special, Forsburn can consume his smoke clouds back into his body. After consuming three clouds, Forsburn is charged up and can use Down Special again to combust: knocking opponents away at high speed.
Maypul is the self-appointed Guardian of the Aetherian Forest. She commands fearful respect throughout the forest for her unhesitating vigilantism. She uses her agility to trap any unknown intruders before they even realize she is there.
- WATCHER'S MARK - Maypul can use her Seeds or her Watcher's Dash to mark opponents, making them susceptible to her following attacks.
- WRAPPED UP - After marking her targets, Maypul can use her Strong Attacks or her trusty Plant to wrap marked opponents in place allowing her to follow up with another attack.
- SLING SHOT - Maypul can use her vines to sling toward marked opponents, allowing her to elude attacks and quickly close distances.
Absa is a famed engineer and martialist of the Elders of the Air Alliance. Despite the laws of the Elders, Absa secretly developed storm techniques in the caves of the Archai mountains.
- CLOUD CONTROL - Absa can place a cloud using her Neutral or Forward Special. This cloud hangs in the air until Absa bursts it by tapping her Neutral Special and knocking enemies away.
- THUNDER BOLT - Absa can charge her Neutral Special to create a powerful lightning blast that connects her to her cloud. All opponents caught between the two will be knocked away at high speeds.
- CONDENSED STORM - Absa focuses the power of a lightning bolt to the tip of her hoof. If she can line up one of her aerial kicks perfectly, she unleashes great power.
Etalus is a legendary warrior in his native land. He is one of the last surviving members of the Harbor Guard and uses the power of ice to augment his massive strength.
- HOME ICE ADVANTAGE: Etalus can use his Forward Special or Forward Tilt to freeze the ground beneath him in order to slide across on the icy surface.
- ARMORED UP: When standing on ice, Etalus can use his Neutral Special to absorb the ice and create ice armor around his body.
- AVALANCHE: Etalus can use his Down Special to shatter all nearby ice, instantly freezing any enemies who are standing on it.
Ranno was known as be a feared martial artist who trained under wise monks. But now he prefers to peacefully protect his swampy homeland. When he has no other option, you can see glimpses of his rapid and deliberate strikes.
- POISON STACKS - Ranno’s Specials Strong Attacks and Jab Combo apply up to four poisonous stacks on his opponents. These stacks damage opponents when they attack and can be removed by hitting Ranno.
- TOXIC TRAP - Ranno’s Neutral Special and Down Special can place his opponents in a Toxic Bubble Trap that makes it easier for Ranno to combo. The length of time in the trap depends on the number of Poison Stacks on the opponent.
- POISON SPIN - Ranno’s recovery onto stage has three options. He begins it with a Poison Lunge that is quick and knocks opponents away. After the lunge he can quickly Poison Kick down onto the stage with another quick strike. Or he can use the Posion Spin to fire out an array of Posion Darts in many directions.
Clairen is a seasoned warrior from a distant future where the heroes of flame vanish and never return. After being defeated by a tyrannical and ever-living emperor, she travels back in time in order to defeat him.
- IONIZED TIP - Unlike the other soldiers from the future, Clairen manipulates her blade to be two-toned. The end of Clairen's sword is super-charged, allowing her to stun enemies who are hit precisely with the tip.
- PLASMA ECHO - Clairen dashes forward with her Side Special to quickly escape. The deadly plasma resonance left behind can damage enemies and even KO opponents with its sweet spot.
- ENERGY FIELD - Performing a Down Special right before an attack hits Clairen will trigger her energy field. This field damages and pushes other Rivals away while nullifying all projectiles that try to enter it.
Sylvanos is the heart of the Aetherian Forest. A rageful deity, Sylvanos has only a single goal - to expand the forest over all of Aether. Unfortunately, the great Rock Wall traps the spirit as he patrols the forest’s floor. Sylvanos leads the plant life in the forest looking for ways to expand his dominance.
- UNTAMED GROWTH - Sylvanos spreads grass as he runs around. The grass leaves if Sylvanos is away from it for too long. Sylvanos can use Down Special to call Plants Rise and damage any opponents standing on grass.
- SEED SHOT - Sylvanos’ Neutral Special fires a deadly seed into the air. If it hits an opponent it will lock them in place, but if it reaches the ground then it will plant a flower that maintains a permanent fixture of grass on that ground or platform until it is destroyed.
- BURROW - Sylvanos can dig into solid ground and reappear by digging out from a different position. If he digs under grass he can pop out with a strong bite attack to KO enemies off the top of the screen.
Elliana is a snake from the burrows in the Eastern Wastelands who has always dreamt of flying. After her dreams of joining the Air Armada were crushed by an intolerant captain, she sought the aid of Ayala, a brilliant engineer. Together they built a steam-powered flying machine and with it, Elliana now plans to destroy the armada that rejected her.
- OVERHEAT - Elliana’s ship heats up when she uses specials or her unique double jump that allows her to hover. Once overheated she can no longer use her specials or hover, becoming more vulnerable to her enemies.
- LETTING OFF STEAM - Elliana can perform Strong Attacks to expel steam away from her ship, lowering her Overheat bar. The steam can also catch opponents or be blown away by attacks. When she is overheated, her strong attacks let off a powerful explosion instead that can KO opponents.
- ABANDON SHIP - Elliana can use her Up Special to abandon ship even when overheated. She launches herself high into the air and her ship explodes. Be careful, as she is very vulnerable while outside of her ship and she must rebuild it upon landing on the ground.
Ori and Sein are from the hit indie game Ori and the Blind Forest and they bring their skills to the test in Rivals of Aether. While Ori works to Bash, Stomp and Glide his way to victory, Sein can use the Spirit Flame or the Charged Flame to put enemies between a rock and a hard place.
- SPIRIT FLAME – Sein follows Ori around the battlefield. Ori can tap Neutral Special to have Sein quickly fire a Spirit Flame from wherever Sein is. Ori can hold Neutral Special to have Sein use the Charged Flame.
- BASH – Ori can use Down Special to Bash nearly anything in Rivals of Aether – from characters to projectiles to rocks and plants. Ori can also move around the stage by bashing the Light Grenade that is thrown by using Forward Special.
- TAG TEAM – When Ori and Sein are close enough, Ori can use Strong Attacks to initiate tag team combos. These Strong Attacks have more powerful properties as Sein assists Ori for a more devastating blow.
Shovel Knight has learned a lot during Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove and he brings those skills with him to Rivals of Aether. Shovel Knight swings, digs and shovel drops his way through the Rivals roster. He does it all while collecting treasure which he can use to purchase upgrades to give him the upper hand on the battlefield.
- TREASURE HUNTER – Shovel Knight’s attacks knock coins and gems out of his opponents. He can collect these to increase his treasure. By taunting, he summons Chester and can use his treasure to purchase either Relics or Armors to improve his fighting ability.
- SHOVEL DROP – Shovel Knight’s signature ability is his Down Air in Rivals of Aether. With this attack he can strike his opponents from above and bounce off their heads. Hold the attack button to keep the Shovel beneath him. He can also bounce off objects and projectiles!
- EXPERT FISHERMAN – Shovel Knight’s down special is the Fishing Rod. Use it off the side of the stage to fish up some treasure. Time it correctly and fish up a Treasure Rock, but time it perfectly and get a Golden Fish.

This is a good game. The mods, the story, and the music are all great things about this game
one of the best platform fighters out rn and its worth every penny
This game is straight up fire fr. I thought I never thought I be able to play a game with such good graphics! The modding scene is really good as well. I never thought there would be a game where I could play as Broly vs perry the gosh dam platypus.
I showed some of my mods to my friend and he called this youtube poop the fighting game which i approve of
Very fun game, especially with workshop. Also, play this instead of the sequel.
I now have a deep fear of Ronald McDonald because of this game but at least this game has allowed me to see who would truly win between beeg yoshi and ao oni (beeg yoshi won)
This game offers something entirely unique in its community created characters. That alone should be enough of a selling point as they are hilarious and super well thought out. Yet the base game itself is immaculate. It'sa 10/10!
Probably the best game ive played, infinite characters, infinite buffoonery. Heavly reccommended
Nice game, tons of fun mods and cool characters
the base roster feels so unique compared to other fighting platformers. 11/10
actually pretty good! it has goku!*
*goku is not included in main game, you must mod it
Amazing game, even on its own. The mods are even better and very funny. The OST is amazing aswell.

very good and has a wide variety of characters from workshop
Oyun çok iyi, hikayeyi oynamadım sadece online oynadım, oyuncu sayısı çok az olduğu için sadece akşam oynanabiliyor, köpek gibi oynuyolar o yüzden online'a bulaşamıyorum, kontroller tepkisel değil lag girip duruyo, onun dışında güzel AMA TAVSİYE ETMEM ÇÜNKÜ ZAMANI GEÇTİ VE 15 USD NEDİR LAN OHA
The game is really good, the animations are smooth.
Although the main characters get boring after a while, you will need mods to keep it fun, however the selection of mods is huge and they are surprisingly well polished.
The Third Strike of platform fighters. Takes all the best of its predecessors and goes somewhere brand new with it. Fast and kinetic offense-oriented combat that rewards precise and skillful play while still being exciting for all skill levels. Beautiful pixel art and amazing music. Absolutely the best of its genre, and a shame that its overshadowed by its big-budget, big-name cash grab brothers. Never stops being fun. Be wary that the online mode is barren nowadays, so if you want to play with people, find friends that are into it or willing to try it out.
Without custom characters it's a great game but the fact that they added mod support makes it perfect
Still the best platform fighter ever.
Workshop is great for casuals as there are endless characters/stages/gamemodes to experience.
Competitively, this is it. The balance is damn near perfect. Everything plays great.
Its a shame there probably will be no further dev support on this game due to Rivals 2 existing.
Any game where I can play as ronald mcdonald and murder sonic the hedgehog wall-e and a wii with a gun in one game is a great game
Ive seen alot of negative reviews for rivals 2 so i bought the original, and to be fair, its still good! The characters have peak designs, for example, Mollo uses bombs in so many ways it never gets old, Absa (my favorite so far) uses clouds in such a way that you have to predict your opponents move, etc... But the icing on top of that sweet cake is the mods... there are so many of them and they add smash bros characters and even some custom ones to the cake mix,So honestly, I dont see Rivals 2 Living up to expectations unless It changes its confusing and "honestly just added in to say its "new" to the series" type mechanics towards the game... Look back at your roots, Rivals 2 devs, you need to not change as much, honestly i would just like to see rivals 1 in a 3d remake after rivals 2 with all the rivals 1 mechanics... ( also i like the game because i have 200 + hours in smash bros ultimate) 10/10 would recommend still in 2025!
The best part of this game is sure the workshop such cool characters 10/10
Gameplay, Workshop, Decisive Encounter (Omega ver.), what's not to love about this game?
This is the best platform fighter I've played. It takes the formula smash started and works well beyond what Nintendo was willing to do with their franchises. This game was able to take a risk, and it really payed off. With mods, this game can reach heights never thought possible. The development team is so cool for allowing the best fanmade characters into the game. The characters they chose were really good too. The single player content is a little lacking, but the multiplayer is great. Smash online is basically torture, so it's surprising to see a decent community (Your mileage may vary online). We've seen a lot of platform fighters compete with Smash, but this is the only one that really pulled it off.
This is either a really good competitive platform fighter or a modding shit-fest. Both equally as good.
This is a great platform fighter in its own right, and the mods take it to another level. You can play with any character you want against any character you want, and many of the OCs people have created are also incredibly well designed and fun to play. In particular La Reina is worth checking out.
The possibilities are endless, search up Jameskii playing it and you'll see the extreme fun to be had, however, you'll need to convince your friends to play with you, which is where I failed.
Fun game honestly. as a platform fighter fan this game is amazing and the workshop makes it better.
I've been playing this game since 2016. I started on the Xbox version, I bought every DLC, and I just switched to the steam version not long ago (with none of the skins I paid for, but whatever). That is almost 10 years that I've played this game. If I had to give someone considering buying this game advice, I would say do not get involved. This game is like cocaine. The highs are so high, but every low is absolutely miserable. If you're very competitive like I am, you will love and hate this game. It'll feel like being in an abusive relationship. You leave because it's bad for you, but you always come back.
This game is really fun and has some amazing mods. Way better than Ultimate in my opinion.
Great game, runs on old computers super frickin' well, my computer cant run roblox but it runs this game super well. If you dont like the characters you can go to the workshop and get other characters, someone made the guy from helldivers and he is super fun to play.
It's real good, mods are my favorite part but at the core of the game is an extremely solid platform fighter. Absolutely a must-buy unless you suddenly develop a fighting game allergy.
Unfortunately I think my days of playing with friends are long gone...
Each time I close this game, the control settings reset for some odd reason. I searched it up on YouTube, nobody is having the same problem but me. That’s why I refunded this game.
I'd write a whole bunch, but this game has been an integral part of me and has allowed me to meet and connect with so many other talented people.
The base game is already really good and fun to play, but Workshop alone makes it amazing for me. By far and away one of my favorite games of all time.
Game is silly, mods are basically necessary
I consider this a fighting game with unlimited potential! (Sorry Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, you crashed out because of your roster selection.) Keyboard and mouse is the way to go :D
I like it because the workshop characters are good and funny also.
this is like fortnite if it was a fighting game and the cosmetics did something and are free.
in other words its nothing like fortnite
I have not touched a single base game character since playing this game. I have over 200 modded fighters, and 0 regrets. 10/10, everything I wish Super Smash Bros could be.
Great game, although the price is a little much for the game, the workshop is possibly the greatest aspect of this, duelling with your friends locally or random people online is definitely a great time. Thankfully most of the workshop is balanced and only if its intended to be broken, then it is (like Ronald McDonald or Omega Flowey) and the compatibility between the workshop and different characters (like the Miiverse stage having custom art depending on the character or Henry Stickmin with a custom fail message depending on the character)
Absolute cinema, being able to play eggman vs sonic with mods was the best thing this game could offer.
either you think mario pissing is the funniest shit ever, or you cream every time you play a technical platform-fighter.
only fun with mods and friends
basically smash bros but on steam. Unlike smash though, i feel like a lot of the character design and their mechanics are very well thought out and implemented well. Each character is unique and have complex mechanics that feel fun to use.
Its just really good, not perfect or a masterpiece or anything but just a good game thats fun to control.
Though this game can be pretty boring sometimes workshop brings endless possibilities with characters and many creative additions.
On it's own, it's a great platform fighter, if one that casual smash fans probably wouldn't find much interest in. With workshop support, it can become a gigantic clusterfuck that I can't help but adore. I've seen Aigis get 3-stocked by a suitcase
the game without workshop mods is kind of weird but the game is REALLY FUN!!!!!!!!
i love this game so much, the characters are very unique, i like all the workshop characters too
the only game where wheatley can beat up gaster on top of omega flowey,
This game kicks ass, it's genuinely the best platform fighter I've played. (Although I will admit I've only played like 6 platform fighters, and like half of those were Smash.)
The official roster is really good, not to mention the over-abundance of custom content available for the game.
I got it on sale for $15 but even at full price I'd say this would be worth every penny.
