'Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder' (ALL) Comes To Nintendo Switch, Soon - Screens

by Rainier on May 2, 2019 @ 9:20 a.m. PDT

Rock of Ages II: Bigger and Boulder is part tower defense, part racing, part art history lesson, and returns with new gameplay, co-op and competitive modes, and more.

In the game, players will explore the uniquely artistic worlds, and take turns in defensive and offensive roles in an attempt to smash open the enemy's castle and crush their dreams of ruling the world (by crushing their corporeal form).

In Bigger and Boulder, Atlas, the Greek God of holding up really heavy things, needs some help recovering the celestial sphere that he might have misplaced. And he definitely needs your help, because all the rulers throughout historical eras are getting in his way; there's no time to gather moss - start smashing down gates! The conquerors in the game are each representative of their different periods of Art History, from Early Renaissance to Late Gothic, and are presented in the series' quirky, Pythonesque, cut-out animation style.

One of the major changes to the gameplay in Rock of Ages II is the emphasis on co-op and competitive play, where up to four players can strategically plan their victory by way of merciless destruction via boulder! There's also been a complete revamp of how resources are accrued in the game, so players will not just have to defend their own castles, but resource nodes as well!


Bigger & Boulder is ready to squash the competition when it lands digitally on the Nintendo Switch starting May 14, 2019!

Key Features:

  • Up to 4-person Multiplayer - A little friendly competition never hurt anyone, so that's why ACE Team decided to up the gate-smashing stakes by beefing up the multiplayer features of the game. Play with up to four players online or locally in a 2v2 match to the crushing death with the ability to customize banners and colors for your "units." Plus, the tracks now intersect, so you can knock the enemy rocks to get an advantage.
  • Utter Chaos - Expanding on the first game with a more diverse selection of units and a larger focus on rock-smashing strategy in Bigger & Boulder, chaos reigns supreme! Just don't take each turn for granite!
  • Improved Physics and Destructible Environments - Developed in Unreal Engine 4, Rock of Ages 2 has upgraded physics. Crack, crush, slam and flatten more! It's the most fun you can have rolling rocks down a big hill!
  • ACE Team's Trademark Quirkiness - With humor turned up to 11, players will literally (well, digitally) rock and roll through the ages. Famous historical and mythological figures beware.
  • Historically Inaccurate Bosses - Take on works of art come to life in boss battles featuring the likes of The Thinker and the Great Sphinx, leading up to the all-powerful final boss in a showdown like you'd never imagine!

Currently available on PS4, Xbox One and PC, Rock of Ages 2: Bigger & Boulder is ready to squash the competition when it lands digitally on the Nintendo Switch starting May 14, 2019!
