Developed by Saber Interactive, the
visually stunning Will Rock takes gamers on a fantastic journey back to Ancient
Greece to face mythological enemies. Will Rock’s proprietary next-gen, 3D engine
and unique weaponry allow for innovative gameplay including melting, inflating
and shattering both enemies and the environment. Will Rock’s story focuses on
Willford Rockwell (aka Will Rock), an unlikely hero whose body is inhabited by
the spirit of a defiant Titan. Launched into a fantastic adventure through time,
Will arrives in Ancient Greece where he must battle some of mythology’s most
powerful foes.
Players will experience fast-paced
shooter action through 10 huge varied single-player levels and additional
expertly designed multiplayer maps. The Ancient Greek/Roman setting allows for
unique weapons that support the game’s theme, including a Medusa Gun, Flaming
Crossbow and Acid Rifle. The game’s "real-time shattering" technology allows for
a wealth of breakable objects, providing gamers with the experience of a truly
interactive environment. With Will Rock’s advanced gameplay technology and level
design, players must rely on both quick thinking and reactions to solve
environmental puzzles and survive the hardcore action!
