If you’ve ever found yourself wanting more firepower in Minecraft (or been drawn to the more warlike modded servers), it looks like the folks at Jagex are a step ahead of you. Ace of Spades is easy to summarize in terms of existing games – Minecraft meets Team Fortress 2 – but nonetheless stands alone by virtue of a unique core concept. There’s no other game that delivers creative block-building and destruction in a shooter like this.
The greatest grown-up LEGO simulators money can buy – or will be able to soon-ish, if you ever get bored of Minecraft.

Imagine setting up your own sniping spot wherever you want, with no access points and a secret tunnel leading back to your spawn room. If that doesn’t tickle your fancies, imagine rigging it with explosives and laughing while clearing out a few dazed and confused snipers whose hidey-hole just got leveled.
