Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break

Breaking down the door of a castle with a ball made of sheep or even cows, that’s the crazy idea of ​​Rock of Ages 3. Creation, destruction, agility and humor are the values ​​of this game, at first glance very crazy developed by Ace Team  and edited by Modus Game .

 

Divine punishment

You are transported to the world of ancient Greece, your crew and you are stuck in a giant’s cave. To get out you will have to smash the door by sending a ball made of sheep . This part serves as a tutorial, so you will learn the basics of the game and see how much fun it can be. Graphically the game is rather original because it takes the drawings of ancient Greece that can be seen on the vases or sculpture.

Once the door is broken down you escape and the Cyclops will complain to Poseidon accidentally reversing a curse so you are stuck in time and have to travel through it in the form of various mini-games as you face bosses. The gameplay is quite simple  : you control your ball with the left joystick and jump with A / Cross. Even if it is very simple, the first races are quite difficult to learn, you will have to start over several times. The cutscenes are rather delusional with a humor that makes me think greatly of the games of the Lego saga .

 

Redundant variety

Rock of Ages offers different game modes, each one crazier than the next. For example, you will have a defense mode where you will have to prevent stone balls from reaching your castle (a sort of Tower Defense). Another mode offers the same system except that you have to attack the opponent’s castle at the same time, which quickly becomes stressful and very funny because usually victory is played within a few seconds.

You can also participate in races or skill games where you have to send your sphere into a hole to score the most points. All this makes up the story mode, even if it is a lot of fun, these mini-games quickly get boring . Luckily the game is playable online, so you can take on a friend which immediately becomes much funnier, giggles guaranteed .

Creation and community

After the story mode, Rock of Ages also offers to create your own circuits where you can do absolutely anything, your only limit will be your imagination . However, even if the game offers very nice shortcuts to undo what we have just done,  the management of the terrain and the camera with the joysticks quickly becomes unbearable . If you want to create a level to the millimeter, you will have to be patient.

If you have very little imagination or like me you are a bit lazy around the edges, you can skip the creation menu and directly test what the community has already created. If you’ve played GTA V you might remember the extravagant races that the community created. Imagine what players can do when the base game is totally absurd, you will find little gems!

 

Rock of Ages does not look like much at first glance but it turns out nice and very funny especially if you play with friends, alone it will quickly become boring.
