    A multiplayer master that shoots to thrill and always hits. Pity about the missing DLC. [March 2017, p.82]

    Overall, TowerFall Ascension is a fantastic game which is easy to pick up and play. While I would’ve liked to see an online component, the couch co-op experience is still rewarding. Anyone looking for a competitive title to play with friends and get non-gamers hooked on should look no further.

    One of the best offline multiplayer games for years and yet more proof that the bow and arrow is gaming’s most entertaining weapon of choice.

    A highly entertaining and challenging 2D competitive game, with a simple and frantic gameplay and lots of levels. Too bad for its lack of online multiplayer, but if you've got friends to play with at home you'll find it to be incredibly absorbing.

    TowerFall Ascension is a highly recommended game for those looking for another frantic local multiplayer experience to add to their collection. However, if you're a lone wolf then there are plenty of superior 2D arena combat games on the market.

    Towerfall Ascension’s main appeal is as an amusing game, and that’s the best thing we can say about a videogame. But not even its great gameplay aspect nor its charming retro visual style can avoid that feeling of missing something as essential as an online multiplayer mode.
