I've played this game since 2012 (not on steam) and the game was soooo great! The game is lacking as of 2016 but it still is a really good game. here are the pros and cons:

Pros:
-you can make a lot of friends here
-great game to play with family members
-good game for horrible computers
-free to play, no money needed
-adventerous, good luck having your life sucked away in this great game

Cons
-lots of grinding to max a character out
-the game doesn't have much players as when it did in 2012 (it could die)
-difficult game to understand, with all the items and equips you can choose from
and more




This is just a small list i made but i really think you should go play the game, go give it a try with a few friends/family members, you will have fun.

IMHO this game would've been much much better if the developers focused just a little more on the lore. They instead just give the community some repetitive events every once in a while, which surprisingly have success among the players actually (because most of them just like to farm the ♥♥♥♥ out of these events). Sadly developers think this is enough to make this fun. I'll have to admit, in the couple of years that I played SK i had a hell lotta fun and I met some good friends. Thing is, the devs left the lore behind and once you finish the main missions you're left with pretty much no clues about what's going on. It leaves you with the feel that this is obviously not the end. I've waited long enough to see the end and, dissapointed, I came to the conclusion that I sadly already saw it, and the story won't be worked more.

Game was suprisingly fun for awhile.
Good multi-player and time waster when you need something to do.
I got sucked into it for awhile and if you do any DLC purchases you can get trading card drops for badge crafting.

Spiral Knights! Lets talk about the elephant in the room. You will find it extremely if not impossible to advance in this game without either investing 1000's of hours of game play or Real Money. That being said, its a very fun game with friends. The energy deals are fair but still easily used quickly making you need to buy another soon after. Plan accordingly and you'll save yourself tons of money.

The game works like a downward progressing dungeon. each level a bit more difficult than the last. At a point you'll find a boss battle awaiting you for greater rewards. As expected the lower the tiers the greater the rewards. Grouping with friends is always the best option for you. Soloing is possible but only with over powered gear. Unless you're some kinda god at this game or have an infinite supply of money to spend on ever increasing personal revive costs you will hit a wall of progression eventually.

The server populations are always full , auction houses full of things you need but a tad pricey for somethings, This is where you can find getting lucky with cosmetic items that sell for insane prices that could fund your PVE adventures.

Currencies in the game are Crowns and Crystal energy. Crown are used to buy Items from the AH and select vendors. While Crystal Energy is used to Upgrade gear, purchase passage to each tier of dungeon, revive yourself or friendly players, and unlock doors while mid dungeon for random loot.

The game play is skill based as in you need to avoid incoming damage with a limited way to restore Health. If lucky you'll find health potions as drops through out the dungeon but not always. Its best to plan for none dropping.

The classes very. Its more what you prefer to play. If you want to use bombs, swords , guns. or a varying combo. The game gives you plenty of ways to see what is available as weapons but if you want to play a more quality build research will be required.

The game has a very cartoon'y look. But the game play even with the childish look is fun and would be a shame to over look if you and your friends are looking for a new group game to play. But hold off on spending money until you spend some good time playing it and truly know its worth spending the money.

It's a very fun and long game once you accept how it suddenly became Spiral Fortress 2 with the accessories and unboxing several dozen different collections of colored boxes that contain re-colored variations of said accessories that they have been peppering the game with instead of new dungeons, enemies, weapons, and equipment that can actually be acquired through enough work and not just purely by whipping out the magic credit card.

Things were a lot simpler during the Mist Energy era.

Creative space survival story that is able to blend perfectly with the MMO genre. The game follows a survivor of a race of knights caught in a war as he/she crash lands on an unknown planet and has to craft gear such as weapons, armors, and shields to fend off predators and survive in this new world. The game has an ever-expanding story mode/campaign, a self-sustained economy that allows players to exchange in-game items with each other for in-game currency or for other items from other games,(which is why this game is so closely attached to the TF2 economy) guilds in which friends and strangers can commune and play together, events in which there are special missions and rewards, and even prize boxes that allow you to obtain cosmetics or branded gear for real-life money. Numerous weapons, armor, shields, and most importantly cosmetics and acessories such as costumes for your knight that conceal your not so good looking battle-armor. If you're looking for a game that has more than one way to advance, this is the game for you.

However, developers have been having internal issues and the consequence of that is a severe lack of content and what feels like an incomplete game. Thos game has potential, but it needs support to get there.

I have played this game for 522.3 Hours Over 3 years.
This is A great game, but it is Abandoned by the Dev´s new Content means Reskins of Cosmetics wich cost a Ton of Real money, Yet the game is very much alive but mostly as an Economics Sim. Most players just fiddle with the Auction house to make ingame Money to make even more of it. There is no PVP anymore (It used to be really Fun! Bomberman and King of the Hill)
All that aside the Community is Generally very nice and Helpfull if you need any Advice on ingame topics.
I can recommend this game as a Single player Experiance (Or with friends on Skype/TS) not so much as a Multiplayer Experiance.

I've enjoyed spiral knights over the few years I've played it and there are many enjoyable events that come and go over the course of the year like the New Years giveaway and Anniversary of the games official release where you duke it out against cakes gone bad and are given the chance to deck yourself out with the new gear available. Three rings has also been adding various missions to complete the storyline of your adventure through the cradle
