    TowerFall Ascension Launches On PS4 Today

    The Ouya may have not been the console gaming savior is was hyped up as, but it did provide us with a couple of unique games. Perhaps its most notable game was TowerFall – a 4-player competitive game much like Super Smash Bros. but with one hit kills. Now the game has made its way to the PS4 with some new features.

    Matt Makes Games announced that TowerFall Ascension will be out on the PS4 today. This new version of the game features the same 4-player competitive that made the Ouya version a big hit, but it also includes a single-player campaign called Quest mode.

    Quest mode will have players working their way through the tower by themselves – or with a friend – as they take down enemies and enormous bosses. The game’s core mechanic of methodical arrow-based combat is carried over into the campaign so players will have to remain cautious as a misplaced shot will leave them open.

    Alongside the PS4 release, TowerFall Ascension will also be available on the PC today.

  • Indie Game TowerFall Announced For PlayStation 4

    Sony’s PlayStation 4 console is out today and gamers across the U.S. are now jumping into next-generation console gaming experiences. During the televised launch celebration, Sony itself teased and announced exclusives for a variety of big-name gaming franchises. A new Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid V, and Bungie’s Destiny were all featured.

    However, since the announcement of the PlayStation 4 in February, Sony has been heavily embracing indie games. This was still the case last night when it was announced that indie game TowerFall Ascension will be making its way to PlayStation 4.

    Though the game certainly isn’t as good-looking as Infamous: Second Son, it serves as a four-player 2D local multiplayer game with fast-paced battles. Players use arrows and power-ups to battle each other on stages filled with platforms and other surprises. The PlayStation 4 version of TowerFall will come with 50 new versus stages, 4 new characters, 6 new power-ups, and a 12-player cooperative Quest mode where players can join to fight off other monsters.

    The gameplay in TowerFall can be seen in the teaser trailer released today by Sony and developer Matt Makes Games. From the video, the game appears to be a mix of modern shooters, Joust, Super Smash Bros., and the original Mario Bros. arcade game:
