''Towerfall'' is a PlatformFighter, based around archery and arrows. In the world of ''Towerfall'', the King has gone mad, and monsters have arisen to destroy the land. Several figures arise from the conflict: the [[ChildMage Last of the Order]], who wants to free the land; the [[JustLikeRobinHood Vigilante Thief]], who wishes to profit from the conflict and help the weak; the [[ArtfulDodger Assassin Prince]], who views the conflict as a way to seize the throne and obatain glory and riches; and [[{{Turncoat}} the Turncloak Soldier]], who wishes to kill the king and free the land. Also accompanying in the ''Ascension'' version are the [[PerversePuppet Prancing Puppet]], the [[TheMaster Forgotten Master]], the [[MysteriousWaif Ancient Exile]] and the [[ObviouslyEvil Vicious Vessel.]]

In essence, ''Towerfall'' plays like ''SamuraiGunn'', in that you have one hit, and if you're hit with an arrow, you're dead. [[FriendlyFire This includes your own.]] Unlike ''SamuraiGunn'', there is no melee move, and arrows can be picked back up and placed in your quiver for later. There are a number of intricacies with the gameplay: you can dodge in any direction, catch arrows out of mid-air, wall jump, slide, and more. There are also an insane amount of variants that will completely change the game, and a number of stages to keep the backgrounds fresh. It's quite a lot of fun with friends, but is local multiplayer only.

Available for PS4, PC/Mac, and the Ouya.
