Build and Shoot

In the game, there are four classes:
Rocketeer, marksman, commando, and miner.
If you couldn't of already of guessed, each one of these is stolen from team fortress 2 and minecraft. It may be a hybrid of the games itself, and so are the classes.

Uh...what? Which one of those "classes" was "stolen" from Minecraft?

Also, FYI and to educate everyone who calls voxel-based games "Minecraft" clones, Minecraft itself was a clone of a game called Infiniminer. And "voxels" have been around for a long, long time before Infiniminer as well...since before most of the kids who play Minecraft were born. I used to play Voxel games on my Commodore 64.

I have nothing against MC. I play it too. And yes, while many games obviously are riding MC's coattails, the phrase "Minecraft clone" just irritates me personally.

Personally I find that hard to believe, voxels weren't popular till after the C64's time.

Can you provide me with game names/videos?

Excuse my skepticism, but I just can't see a computer so simplistic as the C64 running any kind of 3D game. Except for maybe Wolfenstein or one of its equivalents. But that didn't use voxels.

Both C64 and C128 had a game called 3D Construction Kit, I think. It actually ran on ZX Spectrum too and some other platforms.

Rocketeer = engineer + proto-scout: Rocketeer has a homemade built jetpack allowing him to clear far land quickly. The jetpack acts like a very long double jump. He has a Smg for a primary, like the proto scout.
Commando = Soldier + Heavy: Ideas ripped right out of team fortress two's hands, the commando can use the rocket launcher to rocket jump. He also can choose a minigun.
Marksman = Sniper + Scout: It would be a normal sniper if he didnt jump so high and ran the fastest(besides zombies).
Miner = Steve + Soldier: He has a rocket launcher type drill that mines super fast. He also is what you'd expect from a miner.

Yep, ripped straight from tf2. Jetpack and all. This seems more like you simply describing the classes rather than actually reviewing them. Oh right, having a rocket launcher doesnt make them a soldier rip off. Final combat is a tf2 rip off, this isnt.

Conclusion:
Overall, its not a BAD game. Actually a game I would play casually. 1 reason why many people say: "FUCK FUCK THE GAME SUCKS IT ISNT THE GAME I KNOW" is because Jagex bought the name. Tell me, would you hate the game if it wasnt named "Ace of Spades?"
Goodbye, Ninja pig

Oh, the actual review part. "Its not a bad game". Youre right, I wouldnt care if it wasn't called ace of spades. I wouldnt even give it a moments glance, because theres better games out there. Want a shooter? Play a better balanced one where a fourth of the hit box isnt the head. Want team based gameplay? Play one that actually encourages team work. Want a building game? Play minecraft/any other building game becauses theyre loads better. Want a sandbox shooter? Play Ace of Spades. The fact is it has the name Ace of Spades, therefore we should be able to safely assume it will be similar to the voxel version without straying too far. What jagex has done is the equivalent of what microsoft/rare did to banjo and kazooie with nuts and bolts..
