OpenSpades for Linux

Open Source voxel shooter

Overview

OpenSpades is an open-source first-person shooter game designed for Linux users.

It is a voxel-based shooter, meaning the game world is made up of small 3D blocks, similar to a sandbox.

OpenSpades is a remake of Ace of Spades 0.75, a free online game created by Ben Aksoy.

This game stands out because it features fully destructible terrain, allowing players to alter the environment as they play.

The game includes several game modes, many of which are made by the community.

One popular mode is Capture the Flag, where teams compete to capture each other's flags.

OpenSpades supports connecting to servers such as vanilla, pyspades, and pysnip.

It uses OpenGL and OpenAL to provide a smooth graphical and audio experience.

Since OpenSpades is open source and cross platform, it offers flexibility for users who wish to explore or modify the game.

However, it is mainly developed and supported for Linux, and there is limited information about running it on other platforms.

There are no clear details about single-player or offline modes, so players might need an internet connection to play.

Multiplayer may rely on external servers.

Overall, OpenSpades is a useful option for Linux users looking for a free, open-source FPS with destructible environments and community-driven game modes.
