Trailer: Rock of Ages [PC, PS3, 360]

Jun 252010

Giant rocks, tower defense, Monty Pythonesque art styling. Those are three things that are missing from my life. Atlus wants to fix my sad existence so they’re bringing Rock of Ages to my PS3 (PC, 360 too) via download next spring. Thanks guys! Via their youtube channel’s description of this insanity:

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…

Available Spring 2011.

Also, anything in the history of everything that has Dies Irae pumping out in the background gets instant street cred with me.
