3''Block N Load'' is an online [=5v5=] multiplayer FPS with a central theme of building with assorted blocks. With six classes to choose from, the aim of the game is to destroy the enemy's base before they manage to destroy yours. Oh, this game is also made by ''Creator/{{Jagex}}''. [[VideoGame/AceOfSpades Does this put you in mind of something else]]?

5Yes, this game is very similar to the other building combat game, ''Ace of Spades''. Despite this, there is only one game mode available, which is to destroy the enemy's base by taking down two cubes before taking down the main base of the enemy. Currently in beta, it is available on Platform/{{Steam}} [[http://store.steampowered.com/app/299360/ here]].

7!!This game provides examples of:
8* AxCrazy: Nigel Purdey-Longshott is hinted to be somewhat mentally unstable by his character trailer, mentioning that hunting apparently ''calms him down''.
9* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Yury the well-read yeti philosopher.
10* DeadlyGas: Eliza Doolally's biggest offensive asset, which causes DamageOverTime.
11* TheEngineer: Tony Turretto.
12* FragileSpeedster: O.P. Juan Shinobi is quick and can blaze a trail across the map with ease, though he can't take a whole lot of damage in return. Same goes for Astarella.
13* {{Griefer}}: Like ''Ace of Spades'' before it, a player can very easily bring effective fortifications crashing down ForTheEvulz.
14* ICallItVera: Nigel Purdey-Longshott's primary weapon, his rifle, is called "Nellie".
15* KatanasAreJustBetter: O.P. Juan Shinobi's primary weapon is a katana.
16* MacheteMayhem: Nigel Purdey-Longshott's digging tool.
17* McNinja: O.P. Juan Shinobi. This ninja ain't clumsy: He's Mexican!
18* PoisonousPerson: Eliza Doolally, who mostly fights by shooting poison gas and leaves behind a gas cloud on death.
19* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: Nigel Purdey-Longshott.
20--> Ha ha! Toodle-pip!
21* RevolversAreJustBetter: Nigel Purdey-Longshott's secondary weapon is a revolver.
22* RoboSpeak: Cogwheel, being a robot, does plenty of this.
23--> EVIL LAUGH. HA HA. HA HA.
24* SentryGun: One of Tony Turretto's main fortes.
25* ShoutOut: Seriously, ''[[Franchise/StarWars O.P. Juan Shinobi]]?!''
26* ShovelStrike: Sgt. Stone's digging tool is a trench shovel. If all else fails, he can simply bash his enemies with it.
27* SoundCodedForYourConvenience: If you don't have the area radar'd, dig-tool sounds are the best clue you have that someone is digging a tunnel into your base. Most heroes have a distinctive sound for their tool, so you can gauge the level of threat that's about to show up. Also, spawn quotes are a handy indicator that an enemy respawn pad is nearby, and some heroes' noises can help you find an enemy who's trying to hide. (Looking at you, Juan.)
28* StiffUpperLip: Nigel Purdey-Longshott.
29--> Didn't hit any major organs. Let me just check... hm, yes, I'm fine.
30--> I don't feel the full ticket, actually, I'm rather... dead.
31* TechnicolorToxin: Eliza Doolally's poison gas is bright green.
