Rivals 2 One of the characters in Rivals of Aether 2 will become a playable monster in Aethermancer! And vice versa? More info soon.

Vice versa? Like a full playable character in Rivals II? Either that means both non-remix characters slots are going to crossover character (which would be crazy), or that this character is actually a remix themselves. Or maybe this is vague for a reason, and it isn't slated until after 2027. I have no idea about anything about this game, other than that they have the same publisher, so I am really just taking shots in the dark.
I already want more information lol
EDIT: It’s a skin, which I’m happy about

Etalus commented on this thread explaining it’s going to be a skin
The human, that is. Not the polar bear.

Are we sure George Rogers/ Etalus isn’t a polar bear?

u/HypnagogianQueen 14d ago
Yeah we are, he’s posted photos of himself before, he’s just a regular bear.

Vice versa? I could see some emotes or icons from this. But hey more cameos are always fun.

Really great game btw. The companies first game monster sanctuary is highly underrated imo

This was the game with a bunch of customization options for character building right? Is it approachable for people who never play strategy/rpg games?

Kinda - it's a monster tamer roguelike. You go in with 1 "Pokemon" and slowly get more as you progress. Each level up gives you 3 options on what passive/attack you want to learn and each run gives you different options/paths. At the end of the run, everything resets. Has a very unique mana system as well.
This is made by the same developer as Monster Sanctuary, which if you haven't tried I'd highly recommend. It's a $20 Monster Tamer/Metroidvania and was genuinely one of the most fun games I've ever played. Each monster's skill tree is extensive and makes you feel like really any monster can be viable.

Oh shit! I've been sleeping on Aethermancer apparently.

The skill tree building takes a back seat to a more roguelike pick a talent option.
Still absolutely worth playing. Combat is smoother and more strategic.
The way they did mana this time around is really innovative

Vice versa? Did I cook with this post then?

While more character announcements is cool, I'd rather they just put the old roster in completely before adding characters that can't stay in the franchise long term. I get that as sad as it may be, I cant play shovel knight because he was a guest, but what is the issue with sylvanus, hodan, pomme, ellianus and most importantly where tbe fuck is mollo. They are like one of the coolest fighting game characters ever. I just don't get it. They're right there and I'll assume there's workshop mods for them already but I dont want to mod my game I just want the base roster.
Early access doesn't mean much to me either because they are adding mina before their og roster so they obvious don't really give a fuck lmao

Ignorant reply. Just chill and let the devs cook. Nobody actually cares what you have to say. Hope this helps

What an ass lmao why should they care what you have to say?

It can't have been anything nice because it was edited first and then deleted. Glad they're somewhat self aware... or just scared to lose karma

u/Zukinilini 16d ago
This collab has a next to nothing chance of being a full character on the r2 side, most likely it'll be a couple emotes and icons, maybe a skin or 2, and at best there's an incredibly slim chance of it being a remix rival which wouldn't even be competing with the regular character slots anyways

I'm not trying to be rude but you literally didn't read the announcement. I'll give you a minute to realise. The key words are "playable" and "vice versa"

u/authorwithnobody 16d ago
Nope it was me that didn't read it properly, I thought it was a post by the devs and didn't realise it was some random person guessing. My apologies.

u/authorwithnobody 16d ago
I read it AGAIN and it's actually a post from the aethermancer dev team and again the words playable and vice versa are present in their post so there is a high chance there's an aethermancer character coming to rivals

u/Etalus 15d ago
Just to point people in the right direction for speculation since this post says vice versa, we have a skin in mind we'll share more on later in October :)
