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 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.

The unique old-school action RPG experience captivated imaginations of gamers worldwide with incredible challenge and intense emotional reward.

Thanks for your patience! We’ll continue to target Tuesday at 2PM Pacific for each week’s PS Store update, and we’ll let you know via @PlayStation on Twitter if that ever changes.
Really glad the update is live, but I do have to gripe a little. You really should do more to communicate with us. It’s no fun being left in the dark and, sadly, this isn’t the first time this has happened. That being said, still love PlayStation and no money in the world would convince me to go back to XBox.
I was just sitting here browsing YouTube on my phone and I looked at my PS display and saw new Icons on the what’s new section and thought “It’s a miracle!” Better late than never , I’ll take it
Thank you, Sony, for the *cough* frequent updates throughout this incredibly difficult process of updating the store. Your customer service is *cough* superb!
Man, I would have waited to buy Dark Souls 2 if I would have known the $10 promo was coming back. I preordered it. I also didn’t seem to get the preorder weapon pack. Double stiffed.
Is there any chance of refunding the discount to those who paid full price for Towerfall? Playstation has been advertising that it would be $11.99 at launch, but it received that discount two full days later. Thoughts?
Will the Spend $60 Get $10 deal until the 18th till 11:59 PM PT? I’d like to buy Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster and would like to know if that will count towards my total if I buy it on Tuesday.
Another interesting week of deals here. I have most of what I would want already, namely Dark Souls 2! PRAISE! \[T]/
That Infamous collection is tempting. I’ve never played any of those games before, but I had fun with a demo once.
Any word on whether or not the US Playstation Store will offer the MGS5: Ground Zeroes pre-order with a free copy of MGS: Peacewalker HD deal like the UK Playstation Store?
I was gonna wait until a Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain bundle comes out someday before jumping into MGS5, but if the US store had that Ground Zeroes/Peacewalker HD promotion deal then I’d be all over it!
I love how I keep telling you guys that the Call of duty black ops 2 season pass is not priced right. still at $39.99. but hey ignore me all you wan If you dont care then I dont care. Keeps me from spending money. Only waited 2 extra days for the sales. I’m done making comments or doing the whole Twitter thing.
I just meant I’m not sure about the PS3 version, not that it isn’t coming! I just know that Vita titles are always day 1 digital, so it’s definitely possible the PS3 version will be there too, I just can’t really confirm it as I don’t know.
From now on when you have a delay someone needs to post on this blog what’s going on. This is the first mention about the problem on here. A couple of tweets from more than a day ago isn’t really good enough. Someone should link the Twitter feed on this blog too so everyone knows about it. I see sites with that feature all the time. Just a section of the main screen displays the last few tweets.
I noticed Canada wasn’t mentioned as one of the countries in the spend $60 get $10 promo. Are we being overlooked or getting looped in together with the US?
Can we not let ppl wait this long for an update again. Makes me not wanna buy digital.
Thanks for your patience! We’ll continue to target Tuesday at 2PM Pacific for each week’s PS Store update, and we’ll let you know via @PlayStation on Twitter if that ever changes.
