Go teamwork!įor those who aren’t aware of the background, Ace of Spades has been available for a while. Each class has four prefabricated constructions they can build immediately and if you’re a sniper, like me, you might find that one of your teammates just drops perfect little bunker-towers all over the place. In Ace of Spades, where there are no turns to take and fortifications can be much more grand, having a few Darksiders about is great. The people who dug deep and planted mines, as if it were ever possible to hide when all the world was war. The Darkside, it used to be called, that side of Worms play. It doesn’t have the crazy weapons and the physics are more like those in Scorched Earth than either Minecraft or Team 17’s perpetual product line, but it allows players to build a home, a castle or a warren and then allows everyone else to burn it to the ground. Ace of Spades is much more like a realtime, 3d Worms game. It was as a bridge fell to pieces, pelted by bazooka fire from our gloating enemies, that I finally banished all comparisons to Minecraft/Infiniminer from my mind. He seemed happy though and occasionally the fractured scenery formed a decent vantage point or secret exit route, so perhaps there was purpose to the tinkering. The thing is, nobody asked that man to dig and I don’t even know if he knew why he was doing it. He was never seen, no matter how deep into his twisted passages we wandered. The sound was the only proof of his existence. By the ten minute mark of a game, every time some blew my bonce off from afar I’d reappear at the base and find fresh tunnels and shafts carved into it. I never found out who it was, but he was persistent. Whichever map we playing, I’d always hear the tink tink tink of a pickaxe on stone.
My personal favourite of the three team deathmatch maps we played has a tower at each end and bridges between them. On one map it’s an actual building that is on the moon, on another it’s a tree. Teams spawn at what I’ll loosely term a base.
#Ace of spades game originial full#
Playing on a server full of games journalists*, I was surprised to see how quickly people fell into roles. It’s a team deathmatch game on large, destructible maps! But when I played it last week, Ace of Spades put me in mind of something else entirely. Well, there are also rifles for shooting, grenades for exploding and sniper rifles for long range headpopping. Ace of Spades a bit like Minecraft, you might think. There are spades for digging, blocks for building and a drill for tunnelling or demolition work.
