Sep 9, 201185Rock 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.

Aug 31, 201185A 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!

Oct 23, 201181Rock of Ages is one of the cleverest PC titles I've played this year, and for only $10 on Steam, you really can't go wrong. I loved the arcade approach to tower defense and especially all the hilarious animated skits between chapters. Whether you play on PC or console, make sure to play Rock of Ages. It's great fun for the entire family.

Sep 27, 201180Funny, stylish and very entertaining game that built its gameplay on simple combination of two well-known gaming concepts and it's done in a truly remarkable way.
-
Sep 17, 201180Rock of Ages is a bizarre and unique game that mixes the strategy of a tower defence game with the balance and craziness of a Super Monkey Ball game. The result is great but the often slow camera movements and mediocre graphics might put you off.

Nov 9, 201175This is a game about smashing up artwork with a big rock, and there's nothing wrong with that. [Holiday 2011, p.79]

Sep 21, 201175The brilliant rock-rolling simulator from ACE is an ironic blast and an artistic achievement of the indie scene. Despite its poor balancing and short campaign, rolling boulders to smash known historical characters is a ton of fun.

Sep 19, 201175Remains fun despite its problems, and makes for some great local competitive play.

Jan 23, 201270An enjoyable and, dare I say, cozy game, even though it has neither flashy graphics, nor innovative gameplay ideas, nor much variety.
-
Dec 4, 201170Its creative and quirky nature is let down by mechanics that don't feel strongly realised, Rock of Ages is still good for the occasional roll. [Christmas 2011, p.67]
-
Oct 30, 201170Funny arcade with Tower Defense elements offers straightforward playability which entertains for some time. In small batches it is great – just don't try to beat the game at once. [Oct 2011]

Sep 29, 201170It's worth to take a look at this title and its unique art direction. Unfortunately it quickly becomes clear that Rock of Ages' rules are too simple to provide a deep enough gameplay. [October, p.59]
-
Sep 14, 201170While its mechanics can become tiresome the further you progress, ACE Team's signature presentation and wry humor manage to pull it through. Just like Zeno Clash before it, Rock of Ages as a whole is unlike any other game I've played or seen before, and that's a rare thing to be able to say.
-
Sep 13, 201170It's fun, but not for very long. The ideas deserved a better game, but it's still a nice change from the typical first person shooter and it's not expensive at all.

Oct 27, 201165Rock of Ages is what Monty Python would make if they decided to do a tower defenсe game. [Nov. 2011, p.97]
-
Sep 14, 201160Rock of Ages combines strategy and dexterity in an original and wacky game. The solo campaign is a little quick and easy to overcome and the multiplayer clearly lacks some options as well as players. But despite this, you'll get value for its price, so just buy it: the more do it, the less this last shortcoming will fade.
