Rock of Ages II Bigger and Boulder Announced
IRVINE, Calif - June 2, in the year of our Lord 2016 - It's
so gneiss to see you again! The genre-bending Rock of Ages - the
part Tower Defense, part Racing, part Art History lesson, and
all smashing game from ACE Team - returns with new gameplay,
co-op and competitive modes, and more in Rock of Ages II: Bigger
and Boulder, coming this fall to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One
as a digital title. In the game, players will explore the
uniquely artistic worlds, and take turns in defensive and
offensive roles in an attempt to smash open the enemy's castle
and crush their dreams of ruling the world (by crushing their
corporeal form).
In Bigger and Boulder, Atlas, the mythological Greek of holding
up really heavy things, needs some help recovering the celestial
sphere that he might have misplaced. And he definitely needs
your help, because all the rulers throughout historical eras are
getting in his way; there's no time to gather moss - start
smashing down gates! The conquerors in the game are each
representative of their different periods of Art History, from
Early Renaissance to Late Gothic, and are presented in the
series' quirky, Pythonesque, cut-out animation style.
One of the major changes to the gameplay in Rock of Ages II is
the emphasis on co-op and competitive play, where up to four
players can strategically plan their victory by way of merciless
destruction via boulder! There's also been a complete revamp of
how resources are accrued in the game, so players will not just
have to defend their own castles, but resource nodes as well!
Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder features include:
Up to 4-person Multiplayer - A little friendly competition hurt
quite a few people, so that's why ACE Team decided to up the
gate-smashing stakes by beefing up the multiplayer features of
the game. Play with up to four players online in a 2v2 match to
the crushing death with the ability to customize banners and
colors for your "units." Plus, the tracks now intersect, so you
can knock the enemy rocks to get an advantage!
Utter Chaos - Expanding on the first game with a more diverse
selection of units and a larger focus on rock-smashing strategy
in Bigger and Boulder, chaos reigns supreme! Just don't take
each turn for granite!
Improved Physics and Destructible Environments - Developed in
Unreal Engine 4, Rock of Ages II has upgraded physics and even
more things to be cracked, crushed, flattened, and slammed. It's
the most fun you can have rolling rocks down a big hill!
ACE Team's Trademark Quirkiness - With humor is turned up
players will literally rock and roll through the ages. Famous
historical figures beware!
Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder will roll into digital
stores this fall for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One! The best
part? Go hands-on with Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder in
the ATLUS booth at E3! The game is not yet rated by the ESRB.
