Shame on you Chaos for not making this thread yet.

http://www.spiralknights.com/

This game is pretty awesome. Free to play. Able to be played on Mac and Windows and all that jazz.

So if you don't have it yet, then WHY NOT!?

So, discuss the game here.

Tried it, liked it, didn't like how it limits you.

Don't plan on playing it again any time soon.

Subject: Re: Spiral Knights Thread Sat Sep 24, 2011 10:44 pm

Yep, that is the major drawback.

I consider it pretty good because buying energy is better than buying a month worth of play time. You use it as you play, instead of having to pay for even when you're not using it.

Except I don't want to pay at all so it's annoying. :I

Then do what I do and just play an hour each day. ...or how ever long it takes to clear one Tier. I forget.

...but I'm not trying to convince you to play. You're free to do as you please.

Subject: Re: Spiral Knights Thread Sat Sep 24, 2011 11:12 pm

I have days I want to play longer than that, and not being able to without paying means I'll be restricted.

So I just don't deal with it.

Cool game overall though.

Oh man Lockdown is so much fun.

I like it a lot better than the Bomberman game.

Haven't played it yet, but it sounds a lot like the Control Points in TF2.

Wonder what game they'll add next?

Is this one of those games that says it's free, only to have all the shiny fun stuff, you have to pay for it?

It's as free as Team Fortress 2.
There's just a Mann Co. equivalent.

You can get EVERYTHING in this game by just playing it, but it won't take as long if you pay for it.

Achievement Unlocked: Gold Survivor! Boo-Freaking-Yeah!

Subject: Re: Spiral Knights Thread Sun Sep 25, 2011 11:41 pm

What are the requirements for that one?

Go through Tier 3 without having to revive once.

Same go for Bronze and Silver Survivor for the other Tiers. Which I also have.

Next up: Go through every tier in one go without reviving! NO ONE has that achievement yet!

That sounds incredibly painful and probably won't be all that worth it once you succeed. $Can\\'t Believe it$

Very likely.

I'm pretty sure at least one circle of hell involves nothing but playing a video game where every achievement is incredibly difficult to get, with no real reward given for any of them, and also the list of achievements is constantly growing.

That said, I salute you, you brave fool. Mah Boi

It will have to wait a bit before I do take on that trial. Maybe during the next Power Surge Weekend so that elevator costs are cheaper. It will also give me a chance to level up my weapons. Wonder who'll be willing to back me up?

Subject: Re: Spiral Knights Thread Mon Sep 26, 2011 1:31 am

Congrats on that by the way.

Subject: Re: Spiral Knights Thread Mon Sep 26, 2011 1:53 am

Thanks!

Me, Chaos, and YU sure did have a super fun adventure today.

Except for the fact that I died so many times.

I feel bad now. dislike

Subject: Re: Spiral Knights Thread Tue Sep 27, 2011 9:50 pm

Soon my sword will level up to 10.
Then it will become my first five-star item soon after!

I shall be invincible! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

...ahem.

Subject: Re: Spiral Knights Thread Tue Sep 27, 2011 11:02 pm

Have fun with that. Epic Grin

Well I accomplished some stuff today.

Made a 4 star armor and got three achievements at once.

If people are wondering, it's the first three Mineral related achievements, when you deposit a certain number of them.

Subject: Re: Spiral Knights Thread Fri Sep 30, 2011 10:54 pm

I'm still wondering if the mineral thing is "in one deposit" or "Total".

Subject: Re: Spiral Knights Thread Sat Oct 01, 2011 3:31 am

Crafted my first five-star item: The Barbarous Thorn Shield.

Next will be the Leviathan Blade when my sword reaches lv 10. (It's currently about 4/5ths through lv 9!)

After that, well, it depends on what Basil has in store for me when I visit him.

If you want to see my plan, here are the recipes I still need:
Dark Brair Barage (Bomb)
Magma Driver (Gun)
Vog Cub Coat/Cap (Armor set1)
Chaos Cloak/Hood (Armor set2)
