Evaluation
TowerFall Ascension launched on March 11, 2014 and received consistent post-launch updates. The game's only paid DLC, the Dark World Expansion, shipped on May 12, 2015 and is the sole DLC listed — it has been fully released. Following the expansion, the developer shipped a major Workshop Update on September 22, 2015 that added a level editor and Steam Workshop support. After that, activity wound down to minor patches: a bug fix on November 2, 2015, another on December 4, 2015, and a final small bug fix on May 29, 2016. That May 29, 2016 post is the last known communication from the developer on this game. No further updates, announcements, or content plans have been communicated since that date — nearly a decade of silence. The developer has never announced additional DLC or future content. With all DLC released, no unreleased content listed anywhere, and no developer communication since May 29, 2016, the game is complete.

About this 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. Loot treasure chests for game-changing power-ups, master the art of catching arrows out of the air, or descend on your foes and stomp them into submission. TowerFall is best played competitively with friends, cross-legged on the floor within punching distance of each other.
New in Ascension is the 1- or 2-player co-op Quest mode. Players work together, fighting off a variety of monsters and enemy archers across the land of TowerFall. It's a new adventure to explore when you don't have more friends handy to square off against.
New features in TowerFall Ascension include:
