I'll be honest, I own an Ouya and had not played the original TowerFall for more than 10 minutes. Having played TowerFall Ascension for a couple hours, I don't know what was wrong with me. This archery-focused arena combat game is incredibly fun solo and insanely fun with others. What seperates TowerFall Ascension from the games that influenced it(Smash Bros) is the limited number of arrows you have. However any used arrow can be retrieved from an enemy or walls in the environment. This really changes the flow of the game and makes the fun a bit more frantic.
It's right that we recognize the 12 best indie games of the eight generation of gaming. It would be remiss to ignore the impact they've had.
Hollow Knight was a masterpiece. I cared less for the arena combat (Gods, not in the in-game arena) but everything was tight and the exploration was extremely enjoyable. Absolute masters of their craft in level design. I hope Silk Song gives the bees a second chance since their area was only a short subsection.
TowerFall Ascension is free right now at Epic Games Store. It is free until December 21 at 10 AM. Once you claim it, it’s yours to keep.
