TowerFall Ascension: Dark Worlds (2015) Review

TowerFall Ascension: Dark Worlds is a massive expansion for the acclaimed archery brawler, TowerFall Ascension. It adds a new co-op campaign for 1-4 players, a new difficulty mode, 10 new playable characters, and a powerful level creation tool.

The new co-op campaign, Dark World Mode, is a roguelike dungeon crawler that can be played with 1-4 players. Players must battle their way through a series of procedurally generated levels, fighting enemies, collecting loot, and facing off against challenging bosses. The campaign is oldukça difficult, but it’s also very rewarding, and it’s a great way to experience TowerFall with friends.

The new difficulty mode, Legendary, is even more difficult than the game’s original hard mode. Enemies are more aggressive, deal more damage, and have more health. This mode is only recommended for the most skilled TowerFall players.

The 10 new playable characters are all unique and interesting, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Some of the new characters include:

  • Vainglorious Ghoul: An undead pirate with a powerful blunderbuss.
  • Shadow Hunter: A stealthy archer who can teleport around the map.
  • Frostbite: A yeti who can freeze enemies with his ice arrows.
  • Hex: A witch who can cast spells to damage and confuse her opponents.

The level creation tool is a powerful tool that allows players to create and share their own custom Versus towers. The tool is easy to use, and it allows for a lot of creativity. Players can create towers with unique layouts, traps, and hazards.

Dark World also adds a number of new features to the game’s Versus mode, including:

  • New maps: There are 10 new maps to play on in Versus mode, each with its own unique layout and hazards.
  • New items: There are 10 new items to collect in Versus mode, each with its own unique effect.
  • New game modes: There are two new game modes to play in Versus mode: Elimination and Gauntlet.

Overall, TowerFall Ascension: Dark Worlds is a great expansion to an already great game. The new content is challenging and fun, and the level creation tool is a welcome addition. If you’re a fan of TowerFall Ascension, then you should definitely check out Dark Worlds.
