5 Games Like Smash Bros for Xbox One
Rivals of Aether
The spiritual successor to Super Smash Land, a game that defined itself as a Smash Bros demake, Rivals of Aether takes everything you love about Smash Bros and tweaks it to the tiniest 16-bits.
Instead of putting a huge emphasis on individual character styles and flash, this pixelated fighter highlights Elemental Powers (earth, fire, smoke, etc.) that can affect the stage’s condition. Like other titles on this list though, Rivals of Aether still takes a lot of inspiration from Smash Bros, both in format and execution.
Alongside making you feel like the Avatar from The Last Airbender, Rivals of Aether also features unique DLC characters: Ori (Ori and the Blind Forest) and Shovel Knight (Shovel Knight Series). The game’s horde-like Abyss mode also adds variety to the game that tends to be lacking in regular Smash titles.
