The Arcade also serves as the entrance to dungeons. Similar to dungeons, items constantly rotate, offering plenty of reason to keep checking for new gear. Before venturing into the dungeons, you can travel around the Arcade, where you can purchase new weapons and armor. Dungeons rotate throughout the day, so it is unlikely you'll ever see the same dungeon twice, which is an incredibly nice touch, especially for a browser-based game.

Gameplay primarily revolves around venturing through dungeons with three other players in search of treasure.

The basic concept is incredibly easy you play as a knight who is charged with venturing into a series of rotating dungeons in search of minerals and a mysterious energy source that, if found, could help re-power your (and your fellow players') ships. Spiral Knights's gameplay resembles a cross between Zelda (particularly, Four Swords) and Diablo. It's noticeable and enhances gameplay, but never gets in the way. Similar to the gameplay, music is highly reminiscent of games like Zelda and hits a nice sweet spot. The soundtrack is upbeat and jazzy, but with a slight 8-bit edge. You begin with a generic-looking knight, but you soon unlock a number of alternate weapon and armor types, allowing for more creative freedom.Īudio is basic, but every bit as entertaining as the visuals. While some players may discount the visuals as being 'too cute,' I was immediately drawn to the unique style. Even then, the game's art-style stood out.

I tested the game out on multiple computers and only noticed a major performance hit on weaker Internet connections. Spiral Knights is browser-based, meaning you can play it on nearly any computer with access to the Internet. That said, Spiral Knights is an incredibly fun MMO that manages to provide players with an experience usually reserved for 'boxed' releases. So, consider this more of a snapshot impression rather than a long-term outlook. I have a feeling I'll end up saying this more often in the future, but multiplayer games are best judged a few months after release rather than a few weeks.
