Great little head scratcher & very fun!! ### 5/5 — おもしろかった *2024-10-29* かなり満足してます RPG慣れてる人ならベリーハードでもいいかも？ ### 5/5 — Rare amount of quality these days *2024-08-18* This game is a gem amidst the sea of “freemiums” we have today, you get a good story, very charming characters, VERY well done sprites and animation, and a challenge mode. Very good mobile port ### 5/5 — Original et en français *2024-02-04* Jeu de donjon crawler original, traduit 100% en français avec un mode histoire. Je n’en suis qu’au début de l’aventure mais le système de tour par tour avec le tirage de dé pour améliorer ses compétences est super sympa. Pour le prix, ça vaut le coup de se laisser tenter ! On voudrait plus de jeux comme celui-ci. Super adapté au tactile et à l’iPad. ### 5/5 — No exaggeration one of my new favorite games *2024-01-26* The writing and storytelling has been enjoyable so far as I’ve gotten but the core battle gameplay is some of the most unique and fun I’ve encountered overall, ESPECIALLY on mobile platform. Really makes every battle feel dangerous, even when doing fine and taking no damage it’s because you thought your actions out carefully on when you can afford aggression and when you need take a moment and let the situation advance and just focus on not getting hurt and building towards a situation where you can use a hard to afford technique that will allow you to snowball the fight. On other occasions deciding you can afford to take a hit to put an end to a fight before it has a chance to spiral out of control against you. TL;DR - If you enjoy turn based combat type games this is a game you MUST try. Cause if you like it, you’ll likely end up loving it. ### 5/5 — Please add Artemis to rivals 2 *2024-01-25* I think she’s a cool character and would make a good addition to rivals 2. ### 5/5 — Great game made by great devs *2024-01-08* I bought this game on the Steam and loved it so much I had to buy for my phone. I really enjoy it in this format and will forever love the Aether universe. This development team knows what they're doing and I have followed everything since Rivals of Aether came out in early access on Steam. Looking forward to what the future holds for Aether Studios, including Rivals 2! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-12-20* Lots of fun. Good story, great and unique fighting mechanics. Really hoping for sequel. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2023-12-17* Great game. I like the fighting aspect, I haven’t seen any like it, but I haven’t played a bunch of games so. But still really fun if you like that type of gameplay. ### 5/5 — Good as always, read if you use airpod *2023-12-06* There is a bug where if you use airpod earphones you will only be able to hear the game through your airpods even if you take them off. Hope this is fixed soon as its otherwise a great port, the soundtrack is also really neat! ## Frequently asked questions about Dungeons of Aether ### What is Dungeons of Aether?
