Test Chamber – The 16-Bit Smash-Clone Rivals Of Aether
On Game Informer's Test Chamber series, we spent an unhealthy amount of time dueling in the new Smash Bros. for Wii U. While the excitement over Smash is starting to dwindle, Tuesday saw the early-access release of Rivals of Aether. Taking the core mechanics and presentation of Smash Bros. and combining it with a 16-bit presentation, Rivals of Aether offers a solid alternative for people that don't own a Nintendo system. The full version of the game will be released on PC and Xbox One later this year.
Watch the video below to see myself, Kyle Hilliard, Wade Wojcik, and Jeff Cork duke it out.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
