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.

The negative reviews play time is 10 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 96 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by TowerFall Ascension and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. You could check if there is an explanation in the Players' feedback section.
