One of the cutest and most colorful art styles I've ever seen, on top of some surprisingly fun and challenging gameplay.
Unfortunately in the past this game was marred by one of the worst free to play implementations ever seen, but they've done a remarkable job replacing that with a much more user-friendly system. It still is pretty solidly on the grindy side, however, and you will be running randomly generated dungeons over and over again to progress. If the gameplay doesn't resonate with you that hurdle will be insurmountable, but it's absolutely worth at least trying out. The world is generally a pleasure to adventure in and the gameplay does well for what it tries to be.

The closest thing I can compare the gameplay to is Zelda I guess, with all the top-down action and switches that open doors and grass and foliage to cut and stuff. The low-poly graphics are charming, and the whole game carries a pretty likeable asthetic.

That said, this is an MMO, and all that implies (read: there's grinding). At least playing levels is now free where it used to cost 10 Mist Energy per floor, but on the other hand, heating up your items to upgrade them now sucks aggressively. So if you really don't like grinding, steer clear of this and basically the entire MMO genre.

There is admittedly not as much content in this game as I would like. But I'll cut the dev team some slack because it's -tiny-, and I've met some pretty cool folks in here, so I still don't have any regrets.

Spiral Knights is free to play cooperative dungeon crawler fantasy MMORPG.
The player begins as a simple knight, and jump into action with an ever-changing, randomized world known as the Clockworks. Players can influence the areas they enter by depositing different minerals into the gates before they open. As players level up, they can upgrade their equipment or craft new items.
Every Spiral Knight has two attacks: one primary attack with a melee weapon and one special attack. You start with a gun but can later gain access to bombs, and your arsenal is constantly changing as you defeat new enemies and learn to manufacture new weapons.
One of Spiral Knights' greatest strengths is its art direction. Enemies are somehow a combination of threatening and adorable, armor upgrades make your Knight look both tough and huggable, and every environment you visit has tons of cool elements that make it interesting and distinct from the others in the game.
Spiral Knights is a wonderful game. It is beautifully designed and fun to play and offers hours of interesting combat in a variety of environments.
But there's one enormous catch: You have to pay real-life money to play Spiral Knights if you plan to play it for more than an hour at a time. Almost everything you do in Spiral Knights costs Energy. If you want to run a mission it costs 10 Energy, if you want to go to the second level of the dungeon it will be again 10 Energy. You start every day with 100 Energy, which you will quickly consume through normal gameplay.
Overall, Spiral Knights is a fun, engaging, pretty game. So if you have nothing else to do, you can check it out.

An Extraordinary game! I've played it for about possibly three years (before the big update), and now it's even better!

Adjustments:
Alchemy is pretty hard when u dont have enough orbs and materials, perhaps make it abit easier for the people?

My opinion:

Spiral Knights is free to play online game. You play as a small knight and choose whatever color you want to begin with then start with a sword and gun. After you finish the basic tourtal of the mission you'll enter a world that is call Clockworks. They'll teach you how to heat your armors and wepons to make them stronger and how to learn recipes to make your own wepons and armors. Sence Spiral Knights updated to elevator energy cost you no longer need to pay 10 energy everytime so your free to explore the world. And you also would get one of the Battle Spirtes as a pet known as Drakon, Seraphynx and Maskeraith when you finish the three tourtal about each of there different skills then you'll have to decide on picking Drakon, Seraphynx and Maskeraith as you Battle Spirtes. They each have different type of battle skills. You'll have to go on missions and a lot of acrade runs for crowns, orbs and heats to level all away up to Vanguard. It take time to get there but it's a fun game to play.
