The core gameplay of TowerFall Ascension hearkens back to Joust on the Atari. You move, jump, shoot your bow or dodge (dodging into an arrow will allow you to catch it). It's kill or be killed. You play as an archer and have a couple ways of killing. Obviously you can kill with the bow and arrow but you can also kill like Mario and jump on your enemy's head.
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.
