Rock of Ages Message Board older than one year ago

The subjects of Rock of Ages stony retribution are previewed in the game's latest trailer, posted below. Personally, we can't wait to bowl over the age of Romanticism. You think you're so great, Romanticism? Guess what? You're not. Boom.

See all of your favorite classical architectural styles get smashed to smithereens!

A montage of gameplay from the Greek Age, Middle Ages, Renaissance and more!

#pullingyourbootleg If a game company is going to do something silly for April Fools' Day, we might as well all get a free game out of it, right? Today Atlus accuses developer ACE Team stole the idea for action-strategy game Rock of Ages and used it to make a 2D game that you can play right now. More »

It really is about time we caught up on Rock Of Ages trailers, don’t you think. The next game from the mad geniuses behind Zeno Clash, ACE Team, is a combination of tower defence and Marble Madness, because that’s the way those people think. And there’s lots of bits of the Pythonesque madness to look at below, including a ten minute walkthrough of how it all works.

Actively place your defenses and break down your enemy's front door, forcing him to surrender.

Slalom of a different sort entirely as you race down the ramp!

Prepare for war and smash as many peasants and their buildings as you can!

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA - Atlus U.S.A., Inc., today launched the full website for Rock of Ages, the upcoming, balls-to-the-walls game of fast-paced strategy, high art, and gigantic boulders of doom slated for digital release for PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PC...

Learn a little history while defending your tower.

Beyond the unusual, unique art direction of its trap-then-smash gameplay, Rock of Ages looks to be hilarious. This latest trailer demonstrates that proclivity for comedy as it introduces a smattering of the game's power-ups. Gotta protect your giant face-ball!

Power up your balls with various abilities and items for maximum devastation!

If you're not bowled over by the latest trailer for Rock of Ages, then you might have too much appreciation for fine art. Also, the destruction of Michelangelo's "David" by Sisyphus' timeless rock in this latest trailer could be too much for your tender heart to bear, spectacular as it may be.

In KT Tunstall’s new single, she bemoans the fact that she didn’t get to be several of the things she envisioned becoming, one of those things being a rock of ages. Well, fret no more, KT! We’ve got the cure for those incredibly specific blues right here! In our 2011 title, Rock of Ages, you will finally get to be a Rock of Ages. Sisyphus’s Rock of Ages, to be precise. (Maybe you two will grab a drink and reminisce sometime about that one time he was rolling you up a hill and then he slipped, and you rolled all the way back down…or the other time that happened.)

The guys at ACE Team have put together this wonderfully lighthearted, action-packed trailer that highlights the rush you’ll from careening into would-be obstacles at high speed. Sure, your opponent’s going to have some defenses set up, but fortune (and physics) generally favors the boulder. (We’re never going to run out of rock puns, folks. I could talc all day about them.)

This trailer will also give you some glimpses at the new stylings of the Renaissance Era levels, a couple of the single-player bosses, some of the defensive units and our brand new logo (now with 100% more spinning cow!). After Rock of Ages debuted at this year’s E3, it quickly became one of the most talked-about games at the show, for both its distinct visual styles, and for its humor. After seeing this video, we think that you’ll be inclined to agree.

Look for it to roll out onto PlayStation Network in Spring 2011!

#clips This is Rock Of Ages, to be published by Atlus and developed by ACE Team. Those are the guys behind Zeno Clash. This looks just as kooky, but in a completely different way. More »

Fortune favors the boulder.

Atlus continues making boulder moves into the digital distribution space with its E3 2010 reveal of Rock of Ages, a new game from Zeno Clash developer ACE Team. It's scheduled to arrive on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC in spring 2011.

Rock of Ages is essentially a head-to-head, real-time tower defense game in which two players alternate between defending their castles -- separated by a twisting pathway -- and controlling a big-huge boulder rolling towards their opponent's front door. If you're on a roll, your opponent will attempt to slow and divert your boulder by placing towers, fans and units in its path.

As you might expect from ACE Team, the game's art style fluctuates between whimsical and wildly absurd. Levels are derived from four classical art periods and styles, including gothic and renaissance. As Atlus PR manager Aram Jabbari points out, "It's kind of an interesting dichotomy. Blow stuff up with a huge rock and here's a lesson in sophisticated art history."

Insanity, art and balls. Oh, and towers.
