    Ultimately, Block N Load is a ….load of fun (I’m sorry) and will be seeing a lot more playtime on my part moving forward. A highly strategic game that allows you a lot of freedom in what that strategy is. The team with the most innovative plan will likely be the winner, and that key element of innovation can come from anyone and any class.

    Combining the building and destruction of Minecraft with the tactical team based shooting of Team Fortress 2 makes for an addicting combination. But the true value of Block N Load is the depth the developers have added to the game via classes, special building blocks and en endless variety in offensive and defensive tactics. An inspired shooter that combines the best of two game worlds into a fresh and bold experience.

    A habit-forming FPS for its strategic possibilities and tactical depth, but the lack of matchmaking is especially worrisome.

    Block N Load deserves an high score for the original mix of elements that offers between team-based shooter, blocks building, a bit 'of tower defense and a bit of strategy, although we'd expect more maps, more classes and more weapons.

    Block N Load offers an intelligent blend of tactical play and madcap carnage that hits the spot in a way that Ace of Spades never did.

    When you first boot it up it feels surprisingly robust, and there’s never a sense that it was created on the cheap to cash in. The matchmaking can certainly make or break the experience from match to match, but when the going’s good Block N Load is a smile-generating shooter.

    For many reasons Block N Load can’t compete with Battlefield and Call of Duty, but I liked it for being something else than a dead serious shooter. [07/2015, p.64]

    While not terribly interesting or original, most classes have special abilities that play well with the construction/destruction concept.

    Weak combat and pacing issues spoil an otherwise interesting game of competitive construction. [Aug 2015, p.77]

    Granted, Block ‘N Load doesn’t have any of the same balance issues that plagued Ace of Spades, but it has fallen into the unconscious trend of making the most boring ways to play the game become the most effective.

    Fun and unique! This game is a nice mix between minecraft and tf2, and only seems to get better as you learn new techniques and strategies.Fun and unique! This game is a nice mix between minecraft and tf2, and only seems to get better as you learn new techniques and strategies. This game does have somewhat of a steep learning curve, but once you get over it this game shines. Each class is unique and has it's role, with new ones coming out. I definitely recommend this game! Theres a free demo out now so you have no excuse to not try it.… Full Review »

You start off with 5 heroes and to actually get more you have to pay (ingame currency) for them. And some of which you can only achieve with real money.… Full Review »
