Finished this one years ago and I stumbled across this gameduring a sale because its hard to find good discounts today, seriously, steam sales truly fell from their grace, but nevermind, going back to the review, I stumbled across it and remembered about when I finished this game and bought it here when I finished it previously outside steam, rock of ages is a unique and fun strategy game, here you play as a boulder which objective is to run as fast as you can to your enemy's castle door so you can crash on to damage and destroy it and win the level, between each run you will use your earned coins to build defenses to your bases, units you have in every one of those strategy games, its a unique mix of gameplay ideas that works well, theres multiplayer too on top of the game's surprisingly good campaign mode, the game is further improved by its great sense of humor and style, theres a good soundtrack here, I never got to play its sequels cuz for me it was a fine idea that just needed to be executed once and this one was executed as well as it could but since Im unaware of the state or quality of the sequels you may check on them to decide which one to pick considering theyre cheap too, they may be better choices since theyre newer and possible improvements of the first, Im satisfied with just this one, its a good, funny game and I do recommend it.
