'''''Ace of Spades''''' is a free online multiplayer [[First-Person Shooter]].
To sum it up simply, it's what you might get if you were to cross ''[[Team Fortress 2]]<nowiki>'</nowiki>s'' [[Capture the Flag]] mode (using a briefcase as the intel) and color coded teams with ''[[Minecraft]]<nowiki>'</nowiki>s'' building blocks and boxy character models. It has a small, but dedicated userbase.
By default, the game takes place on a large, randomly generated map with hills on Blue Team's side (west), and rivers on Green Team's side (east). You play as a member of one of these teams, with the choice of weapons between a rifle, a sub-machine gun or (as of v0.58) a shotgun. You other equipment consists of a spade (for removing and acquiring blocks), 50 blocks (for building), and three grenades. The point of the game is to capture the enemy's intelligence a certain number of times. You may change the color of the blocks you place by using the arrow keys to look through the pallet, or by right-clicking something else to sample
There is no kill-cam, so you do not know the location of your killer unless you manage to spot him before you fall.
On December 2012, [[Jagex Games Studio|Jagex]] released their own version of the game, ''Ace of Spades: Battle Builder'', developed with the original development team's collaboration. It plays rather differently, with less emphasis on building and more on shooting and jetpacks. It was followed by ''[[Block N Load]]'' in 2015. The Jagex version of ''Ace of Spades'' shut down in 2018.

Line 37:
* [[Floating Platforms]]: Generally averted, if you remove all the blocks under another, it will fall to the ground and vanish, but occasionally a glitch will leave a few in place.
** However, if a structure spawns floating at the beginning of the map, it stays floating.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: To ''[[Minecraft]]'' and (arguably) ''[[Team Fortress 2]]''.
* [[Gaming Clan]]: Quite prominent. There are Major League Gamers, [[Dwarf Fortress|Bay 12ers]], and *Color* Veterans.
** Oh, and special mention must go to the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|bronies,]] one of the few clans to run their own server. Several clan members have named themselves after the "mane six" and maintain [[Kayfabe]], and there's a word-substitution script that forces you to ''talk'' like a brony. It's still one of the better servers.
Line 55:
* [[Redshirt Army|Blueshirt Army]]: and [[Not So Different|Greenshirt Army]]
* [[Real Is Brown]]: Many of the more natural maps. Actually justified by the quasi-[[World War I]] aesthetic, as one can infer that the ground has been churned to mud by several years of [[Hopeless War]].
* [[Reality Ensues]]: For an FPS that looks like
* [[Respawn Point]]: It shifts around a bit each time, but it's always on your team's side of the map.
* [[Scenery Gorn]]: Whatever structures the mapper has set up at the start of the game will ''not'' be intact by the time the game is over.
Line 76:
* [[Wartime Cartoon]]: A few of them exist for the game, as well as propaganda for the two teams.
* [[Water Is Blue]]: Averted. It can any color of the rainbow.
* [[X Meets Y]]: ''[[Minecraft]]'' meets ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' meets [[World War I]], [[World War II]], and depending on the map, the Falkland Islands war.
* [[Zerg Rush]]: Less experienced players often default to this. [[Reality Ensues|It seldom goes well.]]
