I know that there was a brief introduction about the clockwork world, how "you" as the knight landed in this clockwork world and it is up to you to kick some butt. But really, is there more to that? Like story progression? I really enjoy the "bionic steam-punk" like fantasy theme in the game! That is why I am interested to know more about the back story of Spiral Knights. ;)
Overall Story? Story Progression? I like the theme of Spiral Knights!

Yeah exactly! That is what I
Yeah exactly! That is what I said, but in more simple terms. It is up to the Knights to kick some butts, basically. I don't know, I think the story needs to be more too it, like characters to meet type of thing that enhance the story. Yeah, I know that you can meet the npcs in the game, but they just help you out. I mean I would like to see where the npc character "kinda" tags along helping the progression through the story. :)

NPCs
Rather than a specific NPC for a quest/storyline, I'd rather we have an NPC faction.
After all, when everyone's escorted the same mayor through an obvious ambush, brought him 10 bear pelts, then married his daughter, it isn't really an accomplishment anymore.
Just like our characters our part of a bigger organization (Spiral Knights), we should interact with non-human parts of other big organizations.
This was taken from the about page (i hope to god i dont get in trouble for plagjarizing if i did):
You have crashed.
You are stranded.
But you are not alone.
The Spiral Knights have awoken on an alien world. Their equipment stores have been raided and their starship, The Skylark, will not recover from the crash. Now they must work together to survive on a journey that will take them to the very core of the world.Your Mission:Take up your arms!
Cradle is a hostile planet teeming with all manners of alien creatures. Any hope of survival you may have rests on your ability to amass an arsenal of weapons and gear that will provide you with the right options for any environment. As a Spiral Knight you have total freedom to customize and use your arsenal however you choose!
Join your fellow knights in Haven
Once some kind of mining outpost, Haven serves as the makeshift base camp for Spiral HQ. From within the safety of its walls, knights can find an array of goods and services offered by the locals. Everything from purchasing new weapons and gear to alchemizing powerful items from strange materials is right at your fingertips!
Explore the mysteries of the Clockworks
Stretching deep below Haven, The Clockworks is a giant subterranean complex filled with pieces of strange worlds, dangerous creatures and fabulous treasure. Will you and your fellow knights answer its call to adventure?
Harness the power of the Arcade
Filled with strange machinery powered by Minerals claimed from the worlds below, Haven's Arcade is used by the Spiral Knights to build their own gates that cut unique paths into the underground Clockworks. (No two gates are alike!)
Take your adventure to the Core!
Spiral HQ is picking up a strong energy reading from deep within the planet's Core. Are you brave enough to face whatever dangers might lie between you and the secrets of this mysterious new world?

Basically, we are a group of people (no clue what we are) who are stranded. I actually thought that Sega/three rings could make a video game for console that explains the story BEFORE we crash landed or something......no clue if this answered your question
