What is Rock of Ages?

Two rival castles face off in this action and tower-defense game, styled with art and music from different historical periods. In castle battles, you place units to slow an incoming boulder, then steer your own through the enemy's defenses to strike their castle. It also has Time Trial and SkeeBoulder modes, plus online and local multiplayer.

For you if...

  • +you like fast-paced matches with an absurd tone
  • +you want both online and local multiplayer options

Not for you if...

  • you want demanding computer opponents and consequential defense planning
  • you dislike repeating the same attack-and-defend cycle
