Will Rock Demo

Fame and treasure pushed people to do crazy things countless times throughout history, but you can only imagine how much worse it would be if these people had unlimited access to powerful guns. Will Rock is a game that imagines that for you instead and even adds a bit of extra crazy on top, in the form of ancient monsters that guard the path to the treasure in question.

William Rockwell is the main character in the game and he's nothing more than an accountant with a dead-end job, a boring family life and not nearly enough chests of gold and trinkets lying around the house. Because of that, he decides to go searching for gold and rare artifacts, as well as shoot anything that stands between him and the riches, using a variety of weapons to do so.

Since the game takes place in a variety of settings, such as Ancient China or Medieval Russia, Will must face off against a wide range of location-specific monsters and legendary creatures taken right out of the mythology, including skeleton warriors and bulls with flaming axes. Naturally, you can counter them quite easily most of the time, using rocket launchers, flaming crossbows and shotguns, depending on what the situation requires and whether you prefer everything to be on fire for a change.

Although the game basically emulates titles like Serious Sam and Duke Nukem, there are not too many differences when it comes to gameplay mechanics. On the other hand, the handling is a bit tricky and frustrating at times, especially since it is way too sensitive and not very precise, which means that you'll often fall from ledges or not be able to properly aim at the charging enemies.

Despite that, every bad aspect of the game sort of fades away after a while, since you are absorbed by the action and the constant shooting you are required to do in order to stay alive. Moreover, you also get to search for treasure in the meantime, as well as discover secret areas that reward you with extra gold and trinkets, as well as more powerful weapons and ammunition.

Will Rock may not impress through depth or captivating story telling techniques, but its purpose is to always keep you shooting at something and only worry about making it out alive of the level. Hence, after you get used to the weird mechanics and the gameplay style, massive quantities of fun await you.
