Seems we slipped up, y’all. Apparently Rock Of Ages 3: Make & Break was introduced final August however, trying by way of our archives, it appears we haven’t truly talked about it but. Whoops. Clearly, we had been simply holding out ’til we received some good, heavy footage of ACE Team’s boulder-bothering threequel. This week the cardboard pantheon delivered, with 13 minutes of boulder-smashing Rock Of Ages Three motion coming scorching out of PAX East.
So yeah, we dropped the ball on Rock Of Ages 3. But c’mon, what had been you anticipating? Cubes?
If you’ve been dwelling below a rock (sorry) for the final 9 years, let me get you up to the mark. Rock Of Ages is like if somebody turned the Gloucester cheese-rolling festival right into a tower defence, by means of some delightfully crude Monty Python-esque cut-out gaffs.
ACE Team haven’t taken a wrecking ball to the formulation for this third entry. Nothing mistaken with pushing extra rocks down extra cliffs in additional whimsical worlds, is there? This time, Rock Of Ages desires you to make as typically as you break (therefore the subtitle), with a brand new stage editor and extra choices for crafting your personal ball-rolling challenges.
It’s not just like the devs haven’t added some new methods of their very own, thoughts. Test your defences in boulder avalanche, or wrack your nerves with an excellent fragile Humpty-Dumpty mode. One misplaced tumble and neither the king’s horses nor males can be placing your cracked lad again collectively once more. That’s on high of one other bafflingly daft story about flattening towers throughout historical past, knocking into the likes of Moctezuma, Krampus and the Spaghetti Monster. Sure.
Thing is, I’m extra excited when ACE are doing one thing mind-bafflingly new. These are the parents wot made Zeno Clash and The Deadly Tower Of Monsters, in spite of everything. Hell, The Eternal Cylinder ought to be crushing its approach into launch later this year. I’m unsure how I’m speculated to get enthusiastic about pushing a rock down a hill once I might be guiding a disgusting sprogling away from some actually apocalyptic geometry?
Sorry. They’re good rocks, actually. Good, trustworthy, dependable rocks. Rock Of Ages Three is ready to launch this Spring on Steam.
