Ace of Spades Editor's Review

Create your own levels and enjoy four different game modes in this cool Windows game.

Gaming can obviously be a lot of fun. One of the biggest draws for some games is the ability to create your own levels.  This is one of the reasons why games like Ace of Spades are cool. It’s a game for Windows that just might be for you.

Ace of Spades is a voxel-based build-and-shoot video game, similar in to Minecraft and Team Fortress 2. It features game modes such as team death match, capture the flag, base infiltration, zombie defense, and diamond mining. The best part of it is its sandbox construction elements.  It enables players to construct defensive structures or to dig trenches, to achieve the goals of the current game mode. 

Players can choose between four classes of player characters – the Commando, with either a rocket launcher or a mini-gun and a pistol; the Marksman, with a sniper rifle and a pistol; the Rocketeer, with a submachine gun and a jetpack; or the Miner, with an auto-drill cannon and a shotgun. Shovels and pickaxes can be used as melee weapons or to destroy blocks.  Other weapons are available to each player class as well.

App Pro’s: Different player classes and weapons, sandbox mode to construct your own levels.

App Con’s: Blocky graphics aren't for everyone.

Conclusion: Ace of Spades is an ok video game.  The plus sides are its multiplayer classes and its ability to allow players to create their own levels and structures.  You really have to want to do this, as the game doesn't offer much more.  I'm not a big fan and it has a lot to do with the graphics style used throughout the game. If the graphics were a bit different and if it did a bit more, I might be interested, but then again, I'm not a big Minecraft fan, either.
