How it plays
Four archers share one screen and every round is over in seconds, so it's ideal for quick rematches and trash talk.
Reflexes matter and beginners may lose early, though Quest mode lets players team up against enemies instead.
There is no online play, and the Switch version is sold as TowerFall.
