    Rock of Ages has faults - it's samey and repetitive in long-play sessions, for example, and if the trailers don't tickle you then there's little chance the full game will impress. However, considering the low price and artistic spark that lies at the heart of the game, Rock of Ages becomes a difficult game to turn down, even if the mechanical side of the experience doesn't quite rival the creative side, and there are occasional glitches with the physics of enemy AI.

    A lot of people out there calling themselves gamers like to cry about there not being enough creativity in the land of game development. Well Ace Team sets out to prove them wrong. They may have only released two games, Rock of Ages and Zeno Clash, but both of these titles try to do bold things with games both in the art style and interesting gameplay developments. In the least give the demo for this one a whirl. Hopefully it'll grown on you as quickly as it grew on us!

    An enjoyable and, dare I say, cozy game, even though it has neither flashy graphics, nor innovative gameplay ideas, nor much variety.

    We all know that there is a lot of people complaining about the defense system, but they really need to know that the game have a completely nice defense system in the versus match and in works if you know where to place your units, because in case you place all of your defenses you'll fail instantly and that would become a boulder race to the gates. The story was extremely fun and with an amazing artwork, the cut scenes are hilarious and the historical events were chosen correctly. ACE team managed to create a game completely unique. Same as Zeno Clash. If they are making another one, i would probably pre ordered it instantly. 10/10 because it was bloody hilarious and the multiplayer is so intense in ways that i can't even describe. Totally worth the 9.99 dollars on Steam.… Expand

    A disappointing game, all in all. It's not that it's absolutely awful, it's just that the gameplay is unvaried. The humour, art and style are top quality, though; which I think will become a mark of Ace Team's in the future. It's just there's very little to gain an edge and varied defensive configurations don't really give any defence at all. You just roll your boulder down the hill and hope you hit before the enemy does. If your enemy gets there first, you've lost, that's it. You will nigh-invariably take three boulders as will your opponent.… Expand

    I anticipated this game to be original and mind blowing, like Zeno Clash was. Well, I'm disappointed. Ace team delivered us another great art-design, but achieved with different ways. Instead of surrealistic, even grotesque landscapes, characters and situations, we've fest of absurd. The main concept is that, we're rolling... a rock... through... ages, delivered to us with great humour. Sisyphus conquering Frankish Empire? The pope driving the DaVinci's tank? We laugh a lot, fighting our enemies on absurd maps, but that's about all this game has to offer. The gameplay is as schematic as it could ever be. Every map we play the same way - spam barrels, flying ships to stop the enemy's rock, and us destroying the enemy's gates. We played one map, it's like we played all of them. In addition, the story mode is way to easy, I beat it within 2 hours, and I didn't even loose once. After we beat the story mode, we can beat records on Time or play online. Time maps are fun, they've some of that old arcade magic. But there's too few of them. The multiplayer is dead, I had tried hard to find opponents, but I just couldn't find any. We've great art-design, some humour, but that's all. It's rather a short show of these, not a game. General experience is "meh". I'm disappointed with the newest Ace Team's product. Waiting for Zeno Clash 2, if you ask me.… Expand
