    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!

    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.

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

  1. 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.

  2. Ace team's sophomore effort comes with their trademark weirdness references from mystery science theater 3k to Greek mythology abound. The game itself is addictive, but I haven't finished it yet. In my first play through it was stellar though. I really got into it and enjoyed the defensive element and the animals, my only gripe is that it seems overly repetive. The defenses do a good job of slowing opponents down in one level I placed catapults in such a way that my opponent ended up stuck on an island while I slammed their citadel. If you use some thought the planning parts can be great the a.I. Isn't hard to trick either. For eight usd this is a really great game and for fans of Zeno clash a must by. Ace team have made perversions out of the unreal engine and truly pushed a game out there is a little shy of epic, but provides comedy in droves. Try it, you might just like it. Expand
  3. Another fun and quirky game, from ACE team. You should check it out if you like action puzzle games. The art style has to be seen, it's Monty Python come to life! Expand
  4. Creative? Yes. Innovative? Yes. Good for a quick laugh? Definitely. It ends there though. This game is Marble Madness(without the silly loops and curves) meets tower defense. Though, for 2.49 on steam sale, it's reasonably priced. The problem with this game is that it has no balance, meta, or lasting fun. Everything about this game can be explored in the first 10-15 minutes and there's nothing to look forward to after that. Positioning of defenses seemed useless against a skilled marbler.

    Installed it on a free weekend, enjoyed playing it for about 5 minutes, and then the rest was zzzzz.
