It's like Phantasy Star Online meets Legend of Zelda 4Swords. It's free, Java based, and launches from your browser. I was able to start it up in about 10 minutes.

We totally need to set up a Pav night playing this. ****'s fun.

Re: Spiral Knights

Penny Arcade likes it:

...I'm still playing it every night, because (unlike most genre entries) its basic gameplay is fun. It's an action game you play with other people against the environment. It has all the hooks a persistent game needs, but the fundamentals are there, which you'd think would be more common than it is. Somewhere between Phantasy Star Online and Secret of Mana is a weird game made by people who live in a submarine which is (for some reason!) one of the most interesting games this year.

If you get on, add me, Denmo. I'm still on the Tier 1 dungeons.

Re: Spiral Knights

It is not really free, you have to spend real money for in energy, which you use to play the clockworks (or you have to wait for a long period of time for it to recharge).

It was okay, but there really wasn't that much depth to the game.

Re: Spiral Knights

I haven't paid a cent yet. You can earn crowns and buy 100 energy from other players in a bidding system.

I don't really care about the lack of depth or the play limit either. It's fun for what it is.

Re: Spiral Knights

I've been playing this for the past couple days. It's not amazing, but certainly fun enough. Over the next couple of days I'm gonna forge some 2-star equipment so I can have access to the Tier 2 dungeons and I'll PROBABLY stop playing after that if I don't have some bros to play with because it'll be so much funner with friends to shoot the **** with and not random mouthbreathing goons with their TV blaring in the background. Download the game and let's rock, baby.
