While I’m still in the thick of preparing the deluge of words on the good things I did see at this year’s E3 (somewhere buried underneath the thick strata of identikit first person shooters were several truly rare shining gems), here’s the one game I’m depressed I didn’t see: Rock of Ages, the sophomore effort from Chile’s ACE Team due for downloadable release in spring 2011.
At heart a seemingly simple defense-busting action-physics game, ACE Team (the same as behind recently released [and just as fantastically stylized] first-person beat-er Zeno Clash) has upped their own ante and dressed it as a fully realized art-historical world from the Renaissance, Rococo and Gothic eras.
More information should be shortly forthcoming from publisher Atlus via their teaser site here.
