ATLUS USA and ACE Team have announced that Rock of Ages, the balls-to-the-walls game of tower offence is now available on the North American Playstation Network for the Playstation 3, following last years releases on the XBox360 and PC. This release has included within it, a host of newly added features and content such as a new game mode “Obstacle Course” which challenges players to complete head-to-head with a friend or an AI opponent to navigate a stage full of randomly placed defenses. The player to cross the finish line first wins, although the inclusion of boulder power-ups that can be acquired along the way offers an element of excitement and unpredictability that’s sure to satisfy existing fans and newcomers alike. An enhanced version of the classic “War” mode allows players to utilize defensive units that would otherwise be locked away and inaccessible given the stage and its time period. There is also a new tactical wrinkle for explosive defenses, added boulder skins to enjoy, and a wealth of tweaks and refinements. The new features and content in the PlayStation Network release of Rock of Ages are currently exclusive to the console, although that may change at a later date.
The release is free for a limited time to those holding a North American Playstation Plus subscription.
About Rock of Ages
A rock-solid combination of deep strategy, rock-rolling action, and captivating art and music from throughout history! Two castles stand opposed, bridged by an uneven, narrow pathway. One is yours, and you’re quite fond of it. See how the parapets catch the sunlight ever so stylishly? The other is your enemy’s; they’re a jerk, and their crappy crenellations are driving down your property values. Also, their castle sucks, justification enough to try crush it using an enormous rolling stone. Unfortunately, they’ll have a chance to plan and build up some security, doing everything they can to derail your razing rock. Get through their defenses and you’re one step closer to crushing their unsightly tower (see also: their hopes and dreams). But don’t take your turn for granite. Once your turn is over, your opponent’s begins…
