*Important Note: Ace of Spades for Mac will soon be available in the Steam
store but until then, there is no direct download for Mac.* *Ace of Spades
for Mac* combines *Minecraft*-style gameplay with team death-match online
multiplayer competition. Join or create a server, choose the green or red
team and get fighting! *Work in progress* Still under development, Ace of
Spades really does look a lot like Minecraft, with its pixellated blocky
style. But the team combat gives it a very different feel. Building and
digging in Ace of Spades is more about making walls and trenches for the
battle. The newbie guide even warns you not to be too creative, as your
'buildings will be destroyed'! *Gameplay* There are three guns: a rifle,
machine gun and shot gun. You area also equipped with grenades and a spade
for digging. You can talk to your team mates in secret to coordinate tactics.
Despite the simplistic shooting and graphics, the gameplay is really
satisfying. Digging and building adds an interesting dynamic to the game, and
some of the servers have really well-designed levels to battle over. *Getting
started* Ace of Spades does have its problems. Changing your player name is
awkward, and battles can seemingly go on without end. However, these issues
will no doubt be ironed out as the game develops. Where Ace of Spades isn't
very user friendly, there is at least an extensive Wiki where you can find
answers, as well as the newbie guide. *Ace of Spades is a fun release in what
is becoming 'the Minecraft genre'. It's free to play, so get
involved!*Download *Ace of Spades Preview 0.75* in Softonic
