History VideoGame / TowerFall

In essence, ''[=TowerFall=]'' plays like ''VideoGame/SamuraiGunn'', in that you have one hit, and if you're hit with an arrow, you're dead. [[FriendlyFire This includes your own.]] Unlike ''Samurai Gunn'', 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.

-> '''Last Of The Order''': I see the signs and omens. As the tide rises,we must unite to save Towerfall.

* DefeatMeansPlayable: [[spoiler:In Quest Mode, Sunken City's last opponent is the Prancing Puppet. Completing the stage unlocks him.]]

Available for [=PS4=], PS Vita, PC/Mac, and the Ouya. ''[[UpdatedRerelease TowerFall: Ascension]]'' was released in 2014.
