There might be some good ideas in there somewhere but Ace of Spades has no game in it. In the Minecraft it was the beauty of it, but concept doesn't work if you will try to make a FPS. [March 2013]
The idea unfortunately is not as well executed as It could be: a nice concept but a not so great game!

Nice game, I prefered the old one, but what? We cannot effect on the game, by giving it a bad critics and bad scores makes Ace of Spades Multiplayer Dead!?!?!?! No one wish that. Because of you IDIOTS it's just the matter of time when this multiplayer game is going to collapse

This is a absolutely nice game! I can not understand why it has so a bad score. It has so much game modes, it gets updates and I can play it the whole day together with my friends! The only thing I don't like in this games are the trolls, griefers, hacker, and those little kiddys who are disconnecting when they become a zombie.

Frustrating because of its terrible implementation of its fantastic ideas. [March 2013, p.87]
Ace of Spades attempts to be many things, while achieving none of them. It isn't as creative and wondrous as Minecraft and it isn't as strategic or entertaining as Team Fortress 2. Hell, it isn't even as good as the beta version!
On paper it sounds like it could be a winning combination, and perhaps this will improve as the game evolves, but in practice the play styles don't mesh well together, seemingly diametrically opposed at times.
Ace of Spades is also missing a level editor, which is really surprising in a game built from blocks, but that goes hand in hand with the locked-down server, I'd imagine. Those poor decisions have left it in the remarkable position of being fun to play, and completely unplayable at the same time. It's capable of some amazing moments, but Jagex haven't built the potential blockbuster (har har) that it could be.
Ace of Spades has all the components of a decent multiplayer shooter: stylish graphics, gameplay inspired by Team Fortress 2 and Call of Duty, destructible environments… But the sum of these parts feels like a bad parody of popular games.
really fun just griefing and messing with friends! great game to play when board and need something better to do!! I don't understand all the negative reviews, maybe they just don't understand the fun of the miner with his griefing tool!

If it was only for the classic game modes and, at times, zombie mode, i would have given this game at least a 9. The problem is, the other modes don't encourage building and working together in any way. It's just running and gunning, and combat is repetitive.
However, the classic game modes stick close to the beloved beta stages of the game; big maps, long-range fighting, building, and teamwork. The chiptune soundtrack is also good.
Presentation: 7
Nothing too special, but the UI gets the job done. Only problem is that you can't add people from the server quickly.
Gameplay: 6
Classic modes and zombie mode are lots of fun, the rest gets boring quickly.
Sound: 8
A nice chiptune soundtrack, and guns sound good. The moan that is heard everytime a player dies gets annoying, however.
Graphics: 6
Nothing special, just a retro-looking game with some cute-looking characters.
Lasting appeal: 7
Don't expect to play this for 500 hours, but you can have fun with it for a few dozens of hours, maybe 100.
7/10

I saw this on the steam sale, brought it, and started it; I expected that i could use my imagination in the map editor... Well, i could, if i joined one of the already existing map editor servers, because they're dedicated server system was full, first of all; Why can't your server support your own players, and second of all; Why do i need to run a map editor online? It's a map editor; You create a map, it might be a good thing that you can do it online with other players, but there is no option to run it on your own computer.
Well, then i tried to play an online match. There was plenty of servers, and the dedicated server system seemed to work, if it was not for the netlag on every server. I checked my internet, nothing was wrong. They centralized all the online server system (On of the main features of this online game), and it don't work.
I do still give it a 4 for the concept, even though it is very badly executed. Do i recommend it? If they manage to add a private server feature, and make their servers work, yes, but right now: Definitely not.

Summary Ace of Spades is a unique and retro-looking, intelligent shooter which deftly blends all the imagination and creative freedom of voxel-based gaming with the mayhem and excitement of competitive, team-based multiplayer first person shooters. The game offers players complete strategic and creative freedom over a constantly evolving bat...
