Never loads . ### 4/5 — I love the game but HUGE problem *2023-06-01, version 1.7.6* I love the game but the loading never loads I only found this problem after I made an account please help me fix it. ### 4/5 — Very good 16 bit CCG deck/board battler *2023-02-27, version 1.7.6* Not paid a penny yet but actually thinking of getting battle pass once just to see extra game content it unlocks periodically. Great pixel art, the sixteen square board & cards being able to ATK four ways make for very interesting & strategic battles. Sound effects & music are totally old skool too. Only reason for 4* review is… a serious LACK of users! Mostly end up playing vs bots :/ ADVERTISE devs as this has huge potential!!! Collab events with other TCG/CCG/deck build/battle games is a great way to do this. Local/online PvP vs friend/specific ID search would also seriously increase game popularity ;) ### 3/5 — Fun but…. *2023-02-22, version 1.7.6* I like the idea of the game and like the way that that the gameplay loop keeps you thinking, but even playing AI I feel like no matter what I play, it always has a card to beat it. I have spent time making a couple stupidly strong 5 star cards that still get swiped every time I play them which makes me feel like it doesn’t matter what I have in my deck to have any advantage during the game and the AI is just sitting there with twice as long of a list of things to play against me that will always beat what I just played. ### 3/5 — Its a fun game but…. *2022-12-28, version 1.7.6* It wont let me play the game past the tutorial and I want to play the game ### 3/5 — It’s okay *2022-11-26, version 1.7.6* The game is great very hard and I like it the only problem is when I use the war horn it doesn’t let me place a card and I have to open up the game again so if you could fix this bug I would greatly appreciate it thank you. ### 4/5 — iPad Landscape *2022-09-08, version 1.7.6* Considering the game has a landscape layout on Steam, the iPad version at the least should have an option to do so. Nothing like taking your iPad off of its comfortable case/stand/keyboard orientation and wielding it awkwardly lengthwise in Portrait Mode to immediately make it less fun. ### 4/5 — It’s great. *2022-06-29, version 1.7.6* Okay, I know it’s a complex, Rivals of Aether version of Sky-Stones from Skylanders (a forgotten game) but it really adds the lore of RoA, as well as to test your strategic thinking (which I’m struggling with but that’s more on personal reasons). ### 3/5 — Can’t open the game. *2022-06-26, version 1.7.6* This game looked very interesting but I couldn’t even get passed the first loading screen very disappointing. ### 5/5 — awesome *2022-06-25, version 1.7.6* fr ### 4/5 — it’s amazing but there isn’t a lot of players anymore *2022-05-28, version 1.7.6* In short this game is absolutely amazing it’s designed well it’s very well balanced the pvp matches are amazing and you don’t feel like ya got scammed when someone uses a money bought character! but then comes the problem there aren’t a lot of active players so about 98% of your matches will be against bots and I don’t mean player made bots I mean in game ai so it’s less annoying and more just that it’s way to easy…I want a challenge Dang it! LET ME FIGHT ANOTHER PLAYER PLEASE THIS GAME IS AMAZING BUT ITS DEAD!…well if you do download this game your first rival needs to be absa shes easily the most powerful of the four starters you can pick! ### 4/5 — Great game but *2022-05-01, version 1.7.6* The one problem this game has is the 20/20 limit I know we can’t just make the cards all high numbers but the limit is just a bit short that is the only problem but amazing game overall ### 4/5 — Make Kragg great again *2022-04-29, version 1.7.6* Kragg is the best character in rivals of aether so that means he should be the best in CreaturesOfAether ### 2/5 — Data not tracked? *2022-03-12, version 1.7.6* Says data is not tracked but there is no guest account, you need to register your email to play. Make with that what you will. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dungeon Mode *2024-11-26, version 1.7.6* Your Dungeon Mode is really making my butt real furiously!!!😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Stuck on loading screen *2023-04-01, version 1.7.6* Played tutorial, was asked to make an account and now it's stuck on the loading screen. Reinstalled with same issue. Bummer because I really like the concept / art style. ### 1/5 — Shut Up, Tutorial Goat *2022-08-25, version 1.7.6* It is so stupid that she says "capture all the enemies to win" in puzzle mode like that's not painfully obvious. To make it worse her text bubble WILL NOT GO AWAY EVER. It's very annoying and distracting trying to focus on my plays when this stupid magic giraffe is just floating up and down like a moron. You know i might want to be able to actually READ my creatures' names. It's ok, i don't expect a meaningful response from you and it wouldn't bring me back onboard anyway. This is a train wreck ### 1/5 — Fine Gameplay, pastes clipboard *2022-06-04, version 1.7.6* It feels like every good game is trying to steal your data nowadays, and this one does as well. Numerous times it has pasted my clipboard data, to who knows where. I wouldn’t make an account, as that data might be used as well. ### 1/5 — Warning!!! *2022-04-08, version 1.7.6* This app is grabbing the contents of the pasteboard / clipboard when it enters the foreground. Avoid. ### 1/5 — The game crashes in the tutorial *2022-03-11, version 1.7.6* Pretty sad ### 1/5 — Cant even play it *2022-03-01, version 1.7.6* This game would honestly be fantastic, if I could play it. I really want to buy every time I log in with my email and wait for the game to boot up, it sits on a loading screen and that’s it. I have no clue if the game is loading or not, it just sits on that one screen ### 1/5 — Bad game *2022-01-04, version 1.7.6* No password work ### 1/5 — Worst *2021-12-20, version 1.7.5* I can’t even make an account and when I try to sign in it says there is no existing account ### 1/5 — Really bad level system *2021-06-02, version 1.5.0* Interesting game, I liked it at the beginnig but then I saw they implemented all the bad feature of clash royale I removed it. In this game they feel even worse. 1) the worse is the card leveling. Why so? Just let people who have been play longer or pay, an illusion of strenght?. Just makes it more pay to win. Why should I lose only because someone has higher cards level? Does make sense the system 2) the pass gives too much advantages DELETED AFTER 1 hour. Remove the level card system or make it much much less important and the game might be worth it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Crashing *2026-08-13, version 1.7.6* I love this game but it keeps crashing please fix ### 5/5 — Rivals goodness *2025-12-31, version 1.7.6* Fun and easy to learn! Lots of depth ### 5/5 — The best dead game ever *2025-04-29, version 1.7.6* Please play it so it can stop being dead. ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2024-12-21, version 1.7.6* I would recommend this game to those who are trying to challenge their intellect and strategising. As this game is so much more under the surface, and if you have a hard time trying to comprehend things, I wouldn’t recommend. ### 5/5 — Rival of reviews *2024-09-25, version 1.7.6* I love the game!!!! It is awesome how you made a game like Rivals of Aethers! ### 5/5 — cant play *2024-03-26, version 1.7.6* I love this game SO much but I can’t ever play real people because there’s not enough people so if your reading this please get the fame now. right now. get it now. ### 5/5 — Amazing Game *2023-12-27, version 1.7.6* Best App Store game I have played in a long while ### 5/5 — 😊😊😊 *2023-04-09, version 1.7.6* Amazing game 5 stars ⭐️ ### 5/5 — Really fun *2022-08-17, version 1.7.6* I had so so so so so much fun on this game. ### 5/5 — So much potential. *2022-07-21, version 1.7.6* I absolutely love this game, and I believe it has potential to be like a new Pokémon or something like that. The mechanics of the game are great the creatures look awesome as well. I mean the only real Problem is that you need more creatures, but other than that this game is wonderful and I can’t wait to see what updates the creators have in store. PS thank you creators if you do read this I appreciate it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
