Towerfall is great, a great staple game over the many years I have had it. This game is a masterpiece. The ONLY ask I'd ever have, and I'd even buy a pointless 1:1 "remaster" of the game with no additional content for, is true online play. Remote play is great but it's not quite the same. Hell even if it was DLC I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

About the game
TowerFall Ascension is the definitive version of the hit archery combat game. Inspired by classics from the golden age of couch multiplayer, it's a 4-player local party game centering around hilarious, intense versus matches. The core mechanics are simple and accessible, but hard to master and combat is fierce.
