How to Use GameCube Controller for Rivals of Aether

About the game

Rivals of Aether is a combat game that is a sequel to the very famous Super Smash Land. It is a remake of the Super Smash Bros made by its fans, where the gaming mechanism is very much like it.

Here the players have to knock their opponents from a two-dimensional arena where the players have to use both powers of the characters and tactics. Here, each character represents a specific natural element.

Also, the characters can perform attacks (which are their passive abilities) that resemble the part they represent. A list of characters is available for the players where each of the characters corresponds to a specific natural element.

Some of the characters (along with their natural ingredients) are-

•        Absa (thunder/lighting),

•        Etalus (ice),

•        Forsburn (smoke),

•        Kragg (Earth), and so on.

The game is exciting and challenging, which can be seen in how the game is built. Here, the characters can block their opponent’s attack only by performing a timed parry with no option of forming a shield to do so or hanging at the edge of the arena when pushed.

Also, there are a variety of modes that the players can choose, like the abyss mode, versus mode, online mode, rank mode, and so on. The most preferred one is the story mode of the rivals of aether GameCube controller, where the players get the chance to pick up their favorite character or the one in which they are interested and cross different stages of the game and learn the background story of each rival that you face in each step.
