Sisyphus... the king who was cursed to spend the rest of his days pushing a giant boulder up a hill, only to have it roll back to the bottom, forcing him to start over again. After many hours of frustration, he gets fed up and decides to rebel against Cronus by rolling his boulder into Cronus' castle in order to escape from Hades and to freedom. From there, Sisyphus and the angry boulder go on a journey throughout the ages of art (from Ancient Greece to Medieval times, all the way up to the Romantic era), meeting powerful historical figures and smashing their defenses to pieces.This is the story behind Rock of Ages, a game developed by Ace Team (the minds behind the also-very-bizarre Zeno Clash) and released on August 31st, 2011 for Xbox 360, on September 7th, 2011 for PC and on May 15th, 2012 for Playstation 3. The objective is to roll your boulder into your opponent's castle gate, while preventing him from destroying your gate by setting up towers, catapults, elephants and other traps to slow him down.This game has nothing to do with the Def Leppard song or the musical; nor Jesus, whose epithets include "The Rock of Ages."A sequel, titled Rock of Ages 2: Bigger and Boulder, was released on August 28th, 2017 for PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One, and then on May 14th, 2019 for Nintendo Switch. Another sequel titled Rock of Ages III: Make & Break was made for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, and released July 21st, 2020. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change: In the boss fight with the Vitruvian Man (as mentioned above in Shout-Out), instead of rolling around a stage, you’re rolling in a side-scroller, and in addition to the jump command, you also have a power dash with with to attack ol’ Vitruvi. | |

Glass Cannon | |
| Rock of Ages (Video Game) / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Glass Cannon: The boulders in the second game are far flimsier than they were in the first one: they take much more damage from hazards and falling off the edge takes a chunk out of their health on top of that. This means it's far more important to avoid damage than it was before: losing a boulder entirely is now a very real threat. | |

Lethal Joke Character | |
| Rock of Ages (Video Game) / int_36249acd | comment |
Lethal Joke Character: The Block of Ages is slow-moving and unwieldy, but it destroys a gate in two hits instead of three and is completely indestructible, making it a viable option if the player has a good defensive strategy, and is even more dangerous on a map like L'aquila, which doesn't have any turns or major obstacles. There's even an achievement for winning a multiplayer match with it. | |

It’s portrayed here, as it is in Pastafarianism, that it created the world and even God (who just finished up his work by making Adam and Eve). Fittingly, he uses two food-based boulders: a wheel of cheese and a meatball that grows bigger the more damage it takes. | |

| Rock of Ages (Video Game) / int_8af721f7 | comment |
Joke Item: The Block of Ages can wear armor. This isn't a joke unless you factor in the fact that the Block is already invincible and can't be broken, thus making the armor pointless. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Rock of Ages (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: The Prehistoric Wheel is pretty much Exactly What It Says on the Tin - a literal stone wheel, as opposed to a boulder. It has slightly less health than the standard boulder, but can deal more damage. It is also is the fastest "boulder" in the game, but with the big caveat that it's much harder to control, especially if it ends up on its side, and it can be easily stopped. However, it is extremely useful on maps where going out-of-bounds is much harder (mainly the more modern painting-inspired maps), especially in obstacle course races. | |

Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Joan of Arc. God tries to ask her if she's seen Atlas (who is hiding in a bush nearby), but she ends up taking it as a sign that she should lead France to crush the English. God is baffled by her behaviour, and just shrugs his shoulders as he leaves. Don Quixote. But, well, that goes without saying. His entire stage reflects his delusions, making windmills look like giants swinging their arms around until the camera gets closer. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Rock of Ages (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The boss fight with the Vitruvian Man is one big one to Mortal Kombat. Poseidon has the Spongebob sky outside his window. Rasputin's cutscene parodies his appearance in World Heroes. Kali's cutscene parodies the '90s X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon's opening. The start of the Moby Dick boss fight parodies Antarctic Adventure complete with a running penguin and similar opening jingle at the start. The Beast’s cutscene is basically a parody of Beauty and the Beast, complete with cursed servants in the form of household objects. Special mention goes to one servant- morphed into a pipe- who says “Je ne suis pas une pipe. (I am not a pipe.) The Final Boss is basically Mario Kart, with the track being like an Ancient Greek Rainbow Road. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss | |
| Rock of Ages (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f | comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: Joan of Arc is basically the game's way of saying "destroying the enemy boulder is a strategy now that we've made them a lot flimsier, so get on that". Joan gets a huge head start on the player, beginning her charge at least ten or fifteen seconds earlier, and short of her AI screwing up and getting really badly stuck on the traps there's really no way to brute-force outpace her. About the only way to reliably beat her is learn how to use the traps and lightning cloud to break her boulder entirely and turn the time advantage over to the player. | |
