it's ok pros: -> if you're a fan of top down fighting and dungeon crawling, this game can suck up your free time like a sponge -> it's also a lot of fun to play with friends, up to a party of 4 players, from real life or haven -> art style isn't shabby and pretty easy on the eyes, fun for any age range in the whole family -> this game is already pretty old, but there's still a lot to do for newcomers and old pros alike ---> combat is very flush, with tons of flashy weapons and even more bad guys to use them on ---> there's plenty of background lore and tidbits like that hidden in this game if you're into that ---> feeling fabulous? theres lots of armor and accessories to help you look fly, and thats pretty fun ---> join or create a guild to form a small community with more than just 3 other players cons: -> there's a lot of incredibly useful hidden mechanics that the game really should teach you, like using your shield to cancel attack animations and increasing reaction time -> a lot of the better weapons and armor can only be achieved through unconventional ways or buying it at an inflamed price, which can throw a wrench in your plans for your perfect arsenal -> the game makes you grind a lot for ingame currency to be able to pass through a lot of the game ---> a remedy to this is if you do your homework and plan out what arsenal you want by the end of the game so that you dont make stupid descisions too early on in the game ---> the main issue with the grind wall is because of the "alchemy orb" crafting system and the "hall of heroes" quests that make sure you have the resources and equipment to go into higher difficulty floors -> there's not really any recent updates at all anymore, and the community is slowly shrinking... conclusion: i think this game won't last that much longer anymore, but you should still get it and play if you like top down shooters and dungeon crawlers; i'm pretty sure this game is worth the free time it swallows despite being a free game

So here is the thing I am going to say my OPINION on this game. (I hope you read what is on caps :P) Q:Is the game fun? A:Yes, if you like to grind it is pretty fun and if you have friends to play it with you it will make the grind easier since your loot is "shared". Q:How is the community? A:I am not someone that can answer correctly that because I prefer to play solo instead with friends xD But from what I saw and interacted with I must say that the community is pretty good. Q:I played a bit and saw almost no one, is it always like this? A:Now, unfortunally, yes. When I played for the first time (2010 maybe) it had a lot of people. Q:Is it pay to win? A:No, not even close. You can convert 10k crowns(the game's currency) into energy(the paid currency). Q:Why would I want the energy? A:To not grind xD TL;DR: Game is very grindy if you don't want to pay. Community pretty good but small. If you don't like to grind stay away. :)

This is one of the games I played with a great community. Its unique concept is like none others. I'd definitely recommend this game. It has its "dying phase" but I'm really hoping that the Game Devs are still planning to update and put more content to the game. I'd purchase things that this game offer if it gets updated. ( SHOUT OUT: Paging Grey Havens, Please proceed to the Game Dev room now... ) I know. It's boring if you're playing it alone. Make some friends, talk to strangers, don't be aloof. It's very addictive when you have people to share your moments with. Here's what I thought: > Artstyle - Its cute and very unique > Gameplay - Challenging. Well, not if you have good gears. Bottom line, its all about teamwork. Unless you like to play solo. > Music - Lovely music you got there bud. Its engaging. > Community - Its Great! That's why I love this game. > Players - I'd say 50 - 50. Some players are nice and friendly, some are not. > Concept - Can you name any game with the same concept? I can't. > Auction House - Oh my fudgy bars! Those are very expensive! > Supply Depot - Nooo! The trade market keeps on raising! Make it stahp! > Grinding - Aw man, this is a bad RNG. Need 'em orbs please! > Guilds - I don't know about you, but I love my guild. First and Last. > Wiki - Eh? Is the sidebar really down there? Hmm, care for a fix? > Steam Login - Why can't I login my Steam to Wiki page? That's crazy, man! > Servers - Oh my, why do I have a red dot? Mind if you guys put up some Asian servers? Please? > Patch Note - Oh come on!, Where the dang are the Patch Notes? I mean sure, you guys post updates on twitter... but.... > DLC - I'd be fine if you make more of 'em DLC's too. Like maybe, a side story like OCH? > Price Boxes - Will you guys re-release Rageous Stuffs? I've been craving for them since I started playing... > Coliseum - Ah, no ones playing there anymore. Make some more PVP. Maybe like Capture the Ball? or Chess? or Maze? > Rank - Man, being a Vanguard ain't that good... What am I supposed to do now? Hoard stuffs? Collect gears? > Story - The stoy is incomplete. We all got stranded in Cradle. So, there's more content you can actually make here... Like maybe go to the moon? Well, why not?, Cradle has a moon right there in the Main Screen. And what about our homeplanet? our homeworld? What? they're just... gone? Still so many plot holes. And maybe you can have a story on why the Snabolax, Jelly King, Roarmulus twins, and Vanaduke keep on respawning each time we delve deep into the unknow parts of Cradle. Maybe because TIME is reseting? Cause why not, it is the Clockworks... get it? Here's hoping, like most of the Knights out there who still enjoys playing this game, that it'll live on for another 5 or more years. Because I know it's not abandoned yet. https://twitter.com/Cronus_GH/status/829819314475765760 Good luck to the Devs - Grey Havens. Kudos for keeping this game alive at the moment!

A roguelike action-mmo thing with a light story, simple but fun combat mechanics with enough depth to keep things interesting, and a charming art style. Great for 1-2 hour play sessions of light dungeon crawling, looking for the next item you need to alchemize a cool sword. Also makes a good co-op game, as it's easy to pick up for new players. Admittedly haven't reached the endgame, but that's not really why I play Spiral Knights.

I started playing this game to get the free tf2 items. However, while playing I got fond of it. Its really fun so I recommend this to not just TF2 players but everyone.
