Ace Of Spades is a free to play 3D MMOFPS that combines elements of first-person shooting with sandbox construction. The game was developed by Ben Aksoy and published by SoCa Studios.

Players can choose between the Blue or Green Teams and battle firefights in rivers, mountains, or custom terrains. The player must take on a cuboid world where he or she can build or destroy among countless structures, with the ultimate goal of eliminating the opposing team and capturing their Intel.

Server software is freely available if you want to give hosting a server a go yourself. Whenever a new server is made, and no map is specified, its map is randomly generated. Although the map is randomly generated, it always follows certain guidelines: The West of the map is mountainous. This side of the map is where Team 1 spawns. In the central-east, there is always a river. The East is always lowland. It is on this side that Team 2 spawns.

In Ace of Spades, each player has 100 health, noted at the bottom of the screen. The player can take damage in a number of ways. When a player takes damage, their health drops. The player could either be in the blast radius of a grenade, fall from a height of more than 5 blocks, or get shot by the enemy team. When a player's health is at 0, the death animation plays, and the player respawns after about 5 seconds in their team's territory. Health can be brought back up to 100 whenever a player passes through their own team's command post.

Ace Of Spades has 3 different weapons and grenade:
1. Rifle:
- The rifle is capable of killing instantly with a headshot, doing 49 damage (three hits to kill) with a body shot, and doing 20 damage (five hits to kill) with an arm or leg shot. The rifle does have some spread after new patch. While the rifle is a semi-automatic weapon, its rate of fire is slow, at well below 100 rounds per minute. Its limited magazine also makes sustained fire underpowered, and in most situations the rifle is far more effective when used as if it were a semi-automatic weapon. The rifle holds ten rounds in its magazine and has 5 magazines in all.

2.Submachine gun:
- The fully automatic Submachine Gun (SMG) is the second primary weapon introduced in Ace of Spades, with the first being the semi-automatic rifle. Its high rate of fire is balanced with increased recoil and a decreased rate of damage. It is best suited for brief encounters rather than long range sniper duels. The SMG is designed off of the Heckler & Koch MP5. The Heckler & Koch MP5 (Maschinenpistole 5, "machine pistol model 5") is a 9mm submachine gun of German design, developed in the 1960s by a team of engineers from the German small arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch GmbH (H&K) of Oberndorf am Neckar.

3.Shotgun:
- The Shotgun is the third primary weapon introduced in Ace of Spades, after the Submachine Gun and the original Rifle. The shotgun adds a bit of realism by properly spreading 8 "pellets" randomly, with the range varying depending on the distance from which it is fired. Ideal for close combat, yet is also possible to get headshots within a reasonable distance. This weapon is designed off of the 1960's Remington Model 870 model. The Remington Model 870 is a U.S.-made pump-action shotgun manufactured by Remington Arms Company, Inc. It is widely used by the public for sport shooting, hunting, and self-defense. It is also commonly used by law enforcement and military organizations worldwide.

4.Grenade:
- Grenades are a versatile explosive weapon. Players carry a limit of 3 grenades, and visiting the Command Post will restock up to that limit.

There are 2 basic tools in Ace Of Spades:
1.Blocks:
- Blocks are the main object in Ace of Spades. The entire landscape consists of them, and all fortifications are built using blocks. Blocks come in various colors, making them useful for camouflage or marking enemy tunnels/buildings. You start off with 50 blocks when you spawn, and going to the base will no longer give you anymore, only giving back the original 50 if you have already used some.

2.Shovel:
- The shovel is a tool used for clearing blocks. It has two separate features: block-gathering, assigned to the left click; and tunnel-and-trench-digging, assigned to the right click. As of version Beta 0.70, the shovel can be used to melee enemies. Also known as the "spade".
