Really bad spawns in multiplayer. very convoluted online experience and not very beginner friendly. miss the old warband setup for online games. sieges can be somewhat confusing as well. Singleplayer experience is unmatched however.

Simplified robocraft. Goofy, Cartoony, very diverse community, and excellent gameplay. Fun simple CTF mode seems to be the only gamemode ATM but still is a great game.

Can't get game to startup

Constructive Criticism (I Try)
As of Right now 11/7/15 If I started to play this game from scratch I would have fun up to a tier 2 (3 star) knight. When an individual reaches this rank he/she is about half way through the game. A few standing reasons of why I feel this way are as follows: Orbs of Alchemy are grindy to get, the dungeons you play on are repetitive, the game seems to be ignored by the creators and to me feels like the individuals who have made the game are now simply trying to get a little more money out of the game before they ignore it completely.

Orbs of Alchemy are commonly found in "Treasure boxes" which are scattered throughout the world you play in. However these "Treasure boxes" have an extremely low chance of giving you one of these fine orbs but rather have a higher chance of giving you a meeger sum of crowns (Capital in game) or heat (used in improving your weapons lethality). Another way of aquiring one of these mystic spheres is buying them with real money or crystal energy. Crystal energy is somewhat a remanant of the age of the "Spiral Knight" world if you will. How you acquire the substance now is buying if with real money in the "Spiral Depot" or crowns. It may not seem that bad paying 9,000 crowns for 100CE (CE=Crystal Energy) at first but the process of playing the same dungeons with the same equipment over and over for the satisfaction of getting a sword or a helmet after 4 something hours of gameplay is pathetic. To see exactly how the system works you can go to the "Spiral Wiki" (http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Main_Page) or download the game and you may see why im ranting.

To help put some of this into perspective I am a tier 3 (4 star) knight whom makes 2,000 crowns for every round I do by myself. That run takes about 15-20 mins or so if im going solo. Which I commonly do because people are constantly leaving and going making it hard to keep a friend. Out of 15 times I play this mission I get 3 of my precious orbs on good days. More commonly Out of 20 plays (or "runs") I will get nothing but alot of crowns and heat. I can use the crowns to buy CE to buy my Orbs of Alchemy which I normally do but The level of orbs I need cost up to 400 energy (which is at a current market price or 9,000 crowns per 100CE) 32,000 crowns. So out of 16 runs I make approximately 32,000 crowns. If each round took me 15 mins to do I have just used 4 hours of my day into the game. To some gamers thats like dust on your shoulders. To people like you I say "More power to you". But to me that is an awful sum of time to waste every single day in the week. I do not have as many hours clocked in as some of these other "Fathers" of the Spiral Order but I can firmly say I have used 2/3 of my time into my current profile and I am still stuck to where I am at today.

Pros:
Fun game for beginners and kids!
Combat system is neat!
Music is great!
Love the graphics!
Great Lore!
Great Community!
Neat Guild system!
Cool armor and gadgets!
Separate servers for 3 different languages!

Cons
Very grindy
Repetitive maps
Not very fun unless you have consistent relationships with other players
Most items and materials are overpriced

FILE SIZE IS HUGE(3.4 gigs). Took me a while to figure out the menu and how to hunt and equip junk. You can hunt with random people or friends on servers! I have a crappy pc so cant comment on graphics. pretty neat for a hunting game
