Press release:
25 MARCH 2020 – Meteo Games’ developer Justin Meagher is delighted to announce the release of “Aerial Raver” – a PC love letter to the fighting game community, and air combos in particular, onto Steam’s Early Access program today.

Aerial Raver is a single-player combo challenge game which takes the mechanics of classic fighters and re-imagines them into a mission-based format. Players will create and perform combos using their favourite fighting game moves and upgrade their characters and move sets in an attempt to construct the biggest, most mind-blowing combo imaginable.

The game launches into the arena with full gamepad, keyboard and arcade stick support, as well as 30 Moves, 60 Missions across 3

Wak-Bots, a ton of upgradable abilities, and a core set of customization options.

In future updates, Meteo Games plans to include more missions, combos, customization options, as well as online features (like recording and sharing combos), general accessibility updates for those new to the genre, and general polish throughout. Crucially, the release via Steam’s Early Access program allows Meteo Games to refine the game according to feedback from the fighting game community.

Meteo’s Justin Meagher had the following to say:

“I’ve had this concept for a game that celebrates the fighting game combo for years, and now it’s time to bring it to life. This is a game where your creativity and skill get to shine, and where experimentation and thinking outside the box are rewarded.

This is a project of passion and love for the fighting games I grew up playing, and the community that makes these games unforgettable. I’m hoping you’ll see that love and passion translate into the gameplay and visuals. This is also a project I want players to be a part of. By allowing players early access to provide vital feedback, the game can evolve into something truly unique and something the community can be proud of!”

Aerial Raver launches on PC via Steam Early Access today, the 25th March, at a discounted launch price of $14.99.
