Which is what makes me sad to say that this game's biggest flaw lies in it's grind-walls. It may be nostalgia, but I can't get enough. Soundtrack: I know I didn't list this at the beginning but the soundtrack of this game, especially for the Void levels, is fantastic. I'd also like to point out how The Arcade, SK's official unofficial discord server is extremely active - I don't have a point but the server exists GMs. I love this game's community, and I think it's one of the strongest aspects of this game. Or like how whenever anyone drops a snowball bucket, all of Haven turns into mindless childlike joy for a few minutes. Instead, some guy came up to me and threw 49 of them at me for no charge and a :D. or just how about the time, when only a few days ago, I asked Haven to sell me a Blaze Pepper for 300cr so that I could craft my Vog Cub Coat.

Planning guild raids, guild events in Haven, guild lockdown. Or how some of my fondest memories in gaming were with by old guilds Dragon's Might and what is currently Embermist Scavengers. In my early days, even way back pre-elevator, there were Vanguards all to willing to help my, a who was about 9 at the time, beat Snarby for the first time. But, overall, it is by far the most welcoming and helpful community I've every been apart of. Without spoiling it, let's just say that it is the prime definition of a properly executed Mechanical Ending, where you have to use all your SK knowledge to beat down hordesĬommunity: SK's community is undoubtedly small. Like, the final mission, Dreams and Nightmares. Arkus, Vaelyn, Seerus, as well as the whole Recon Squad are amazing characters (about half my dnd characters are named after SK characters lol.) How you slowly uncover what happened to the Recon Squad as you beat the game's bosses, how numerous equipment descriptions really help build out the world, how Scenario Rooms can sometimes just take your breath away. Story: The games story and lore, I find fascinating, especially in 5* and post-vanguard missions. This, tied into the wide variety of builds can lead to very different experiences between multiple runs of SK's "campaign." Choosing to go Swordsman vs Mixed vs Bomber- choosing a different starting Battle Sprite-you get my point. GM-designed levels are exempt naturally, but I find that hand crafted levels are often very high quality and memorable, that- well, let me put it this way: I, amongst with many others, didn't particularly mind doing Vana 14+ times. This combat style also easily ties in the Replayability: The procedurally generated levels, though sometimes can feel bland, lead a different experience within the same missions and gates in the Arcade. Along with niche techniques to master such as shield cancelling, shield bumping and switch firing, as well as charge attacks and the like, leads to a gameplay style that is easy to get into but hard to master.

Dual brandishes play different from Brandish + Flourish differ from Cutter + gun differ from Mist Bomb + BAB and the list goes on and on. The weapon types and possible builds are very varied and encourage experimentation amongst loadouts. This games strengths lie in its combat, story, replay-ability and community.Ĭombat: I may have not played many MMORPGS in my time, or not many to the extent I have SK, but I haven't found a game that plays quite like it. I have "beat" the game on one account, and are currently replaying the game with a childhood friend of mine, currently on the 4* to 5* grind. | I love this game, I have practically grown up with this game, playing it on and off over the years.
Dreams and nightmares spiral knights update#
Let me preface this that I have played spiral knights since Beta, since before the elevator update and removal of Mist Energy.
