Steam page (for info ONLY): https://store.steampowered.com/app/251470/TowerFall_Ascensio…

From the website:

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.

Features in TowerFall Ascension include:

  • 1- or 2-player co-op Quest mode
  • 50 additional Versus arenas, for a total of 120 unique maps
  • More game-changing power-ups, such as Drill Arrows that burrow through walls
  • 4 new unlockable, playable archers, for a total of 8
  • A huge list of variants to customize your matches - a total of 75 ways to mix things up
  • Plenty of hidden secrets and surprises to discover with your friends

TowerFall Ascension comes with Dark World Expansion included!
Enigmatic portals open to four new battlegrounds across TowerFall's twisted alternate reality. Fight aboard legendary ghost ship The Amaranth, across the murky bogs of Dreadwood, or through the crumbling halls of Darkfang. Enter Cataclysm, an all-consuming vortex where levels shift into unique layouts with every match. Murder your friends with new game-changing arrow types and variants.
Team up to challenge the all-new Dark World Mode - a co-op campaign for 1-4 players. Battle your way to hideous boss monsters, and face the brutal challenge of the added Legendary difficulty mode. Expand your roster of playable fighters with the undead pirate Vainglorious Ghoul and 9 more alternate archers.
Dark World also adds a powerful level creation tool, allowing players to create and share their own new Versus towers.

Enjoy!

    Awesome, we get Superhot tomorrow! It's even in the URL of the pic https://cdn1.epicgames.com/epic/offer/EG_Store_HolidaySale_F…

    • Will be confirmed later. Can only be posted with official confirmation unfortunately, not based on our guesses even if accurate. But good catch.

      • Yeah all good, it's just nice to have an idea in advance so people remember to come back tomorrow

    great game this one is :)

  • Anyone else get a $10 voucher for 'purchasing' this free game?

  • +14

    Great game for this price lol. Pretty fun for local multiplayer (co-op or VS).

    For those who prefer Steam or don't like running Epic Launcher, follow this guide:

    ** HOW TO START GAME WITHOUT THE EPIC LAUNCHER ***

    1. Install and launch the game through Epic Launcher then close it.

    2. Open "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\EpicGamesLauncher\Saved\Logs\EpicGamesLauncher.log" in a text editor.

    3. Do a search for "-AUTH_LOGIN" and find the line similar to the example below for your specific game…

    [2019.12.20-22.56.49:143][311]FCommunityPortalLaunchAppTask: Launching app 'X:/GAMES/Epic Games/TowerfallAscension/TowerFallLauncher.exe' with commandline ' -AUTH_LOGIN=unused -AUTH_PASSWORD=XXX -AUTH_TYPE=exchangecode -epicapp=Bichir -epicenv=Prod -EpicPortal -epicusername="XXX" -epicuserid=XXX -epiclocale=en-GB'

    4 . Use the info there to build the command line for your new shortcut or "Set Launch Options" in Steam.

    You can now use that shortcut or Steam to launch any game without having the Epic Games Launcher running in the background - not even as an icon in the system tray.


    Technically, what this does is start the game WITHOUT the EPIC launcher, but of course it doesn't remove the DRM. You basically pass your EPIC account/password to the *.exe and then start the game. (The DRM/Epic account check is obviously done within the game itself, doesn't need the launcher)

    • what is wrong with the epic launcher vs steam launcher?

      • -1

        Epic games launcher uses your graphics card even when your not running any games in the launcher.

        • you are technically correct, also display your desk top uses your graphics card, actually, display anything uses your graphic card.

      • -2

        Epic launcher lacks basic features and locks all your games to the shitty launcher. Competition has led to a worse outcome for customers. Prices remained the same but the launcher changed to garbage.

        Also if we are to believe the comments the Epic Launcher wastes electricity constantly if it's running.

    • +1

      Just to clarify onwards from step 4:

      -5. Copy the text from the line in EpicGamesLauncher.log starting at -AUTH_LOGIN (without the quotes).

      If you want to create a desktop shortcut:

      -6. Go to the install location, right-click on "TowerFallLauncher.exe" and go 'Send To'>'Desktop (create shortcut)'.
      -7. Right-click the desktop shortcut you created
      -8. In the Target, after the quotes, paste the line you copied. eg. "…\Epic Games\TowerfallAscension\TowerFallLauncher.exe" -AUTH_LOGIN…

      If you want to launch from steam:

      -6. In Steam, go to Games > Add a non-steam game and find the .exe
      -7. Right-click > Properties > 'Set Launch Options' and paste the same line you copied earlier.

      Hope that helps!

  • I click on "Get" and nothing happens? :S

    • I'm having the same issue, multiple browsers

    • Keep trying, finally worked for me.
      Store getting hammered I'd assume.

      • Yeah worked for me now in Chrome.

    • I had the same problem with the Epic launcher, then Chrome, then Edge on PC. Eventually I got it with Firefox on Android, but that might have just to do with the servers instead of the browser. Anyway, it's now properly in my library in the launcher app.

  • It looks as if it will be Superhot tomorrow.
    I found some proof other than merely the URL and hence have posted it now already so people do not make the mistake of buying Superhot on Steam or Epic.

    Epic Games is currently down for maintenance.
    We expect to be back shortly. Thank you for your patience.

  • Some games are $14.99 which I won’t give you the extra $10.
    Can we buy two games (combined over $15) and get the $10 voucher?

    • If a game costs $14.99 or more you will get another coupon.
      Combined sales will not give you a voucher.
