Spiral knights is a zelda LTTP esque MMO 4 player co op game, with some slight RPG elements.
History :
Back in the day i was a flash game player and was messing around sites like miniclip and armor games... I rarely explored the Multiplayer sections but one day i thought about popping in the first thing i saw was spiral knights, the screenshots i saw really got me hooked so i DL'd the game, upon waiting for 30 minutes for the game to install i finaly started at the tutorial, which got me into the game immensly,after that i was HOOKED!
Story :
SK's lore and story is about the knights ship being destroyed and them falling onto Cradle, a nearby planet, mostly owned by gremlins are other creatures of the clockworks, the planets depths, the planet being a mechanical being has a core, which the knights want and need to possibly fix their ship.
The story is still in development so i dont have to talk anything more about it
+
= Attachable characters
= Interesting story
-
= Unfinished story with "holes" (unexplained things)
Story -4/5
Art :
The game has a beutiful and crisp 2.5 D artstyle that really fits the games gameplay and mood, and is always a nice thing to look at.Same as the enviroments which really immerse you into thinking that you are in a factory, castle or forest.
Art 5/5
Gameplay :
The game is a topdown twinstick? hack and slash dungeon crawler with chargable weapons and a BIG variety of weapons which can all be gained with the ingame currency with exceptions of reskins, ( Changed in newest update, a boomerang gun unique which is a chance to get from paying $$$)
The game has tons of different Randomly generated areas with different tilesets.
Gameplay 4.5/5
Variety :
Like mentioned before the variety in this game is huge, with about 50 pieces of hats, counting all the * versions from 0-5, 50 Shirt equips, and around 30 shields + reskins and 6 families of monsters with 10 monsters in each + their tier 2 and 3 versions. Same with around 50 weapons and their reskins too!
Vairety 5+/5
All in all this game is Great, a experience i would always come back to, but things these days seem to be a little strange, all the updates i see are promotional content, obviusly content already made to be published in the future, im hoping this game continues with its awesomeness through the next decade or so, but maybe , it could sadly be forgotten in my past and many others pasts.
Spiral Knights - Exceptional game -5/5
- Shock Review -
Sometimes you rate things "5/5", and sometimes "-5/5". Does the latter mean the same as the former?
I'm a big fan of SK of course, but do you really think that its story deserves 4/5? There's almost no story. There are numerous "super-forces" (Tinkinzar, Swarm, Vog, etc.) that are not at all explained. I would give the story maybe 1/5.
