If you prefer offense to defense you can also spend your cash on upgrades for your boulder instead. Defenses play even less of a role in early stages as you can simply jump over most of them, but later in the game, it can be very beneficial to slow down your opponent or destroy their boulder outright. The short period of time available to place defenses also makes it hard to come up with strategies other than stacking up whatever you can afford at choke-points. However, the difference in damage appears to be negligible and we completed most levels with only three hits or four at most. Supposedly the size of your boulder and the speed at which it smashes into the fort door determines how much damage it does to the door.
However, as neat as the whole tower defense element of the game is, most of the time levels are won by whoever can reach their opponents fort the fastest. To earn more money you need to smash your opponents’ defenses while later levels allow you to purchase mines that generate income instead of providing defenses.
During this waiting period, you can plunk down more defenses if you have the money or try and take potshots at your opponents’ boulder yourself as it rolls towards your fort. Defenses can only be placed in certain spots and require money to build, so you can’t go wild with them, but they can turn the tide in your favor if you are lucky.Īfter smashing your boulder into your opponents’ fort door, it takes a short while before it is rebuilt and you can do it again. To complicate matters further, both Sisyphus and his opponents can also place defenses on the course to hinder or even destroy rival boulders. To make things a little more interesting each course is quite twisted and convoluted, so getting to your opponent is not a straightforward process. Meanwhile, they are trying to do the same to you, so the victor is whoever can smash down their opponent’s door and crush them with the boulder. Your goal on each level is to use this boulder and smash down the door to the fort where your opponent is hiding on the opposite side of the map.
After breaking out of Hades, Sisyphus and his boulder tears through Sparta, Wallachia, Rome, Paris, Madrid, and many other locations while stopping occasionally to defeat a boss or two along the way.Īlthough the campaign mode is about Sisyphus, you are actually in control of his giant boulder. Here we see Sisyphus go on a rampage with his giant boulder by using it to smash everything in his way. In Greek mythology, this went on for all eternity, but in Rock of Ages by ACE Team the outcome is a little different. Poor Sisyphus, doomed to roll a massive boulder up a hill only to watch it roll down again as soon as he nears the top.
