Rock of Ages Review - PC
Rock of Ages is clearly a member of a very old game subgenre - where you roll some round object to an objective, while avoiding falling. Those are the boulders you use to destroy enemies, their structures, defenses and ultimately destroy their gates and kill their leader.
However, it adds much more, as there is a tower defense component on both sides - even on single player. You build stuff such as Towers (which just stay there), cows and elephants (which block and damage your boulder) and catapults (which deflect and damage).
It looks pretty good and has an unusual art style, specially on the cinematics. I particularly liked how they pulled the theme of the game of the Sisyphus myth - he got tired of rolling that rock up the hill all the time, and decided to use it to broke out of Hades. Pretty funny.
It is somewhat interesting, but I'm not sure how fun the gameplay will be after playing more.
