Spiral Knights has very solid game mechanics, and is genuinely great fun to play. Very well designed levels and focuses on mastery of game mechanics, rather than your stats.

Unfortunately, the publisher and the developers are intent on pushing only visual updates in order to make money off of whales. No new updates have been pushed out for ages. When the game was passed to Sega, the new developers did not understand what makes the mechanics of the game work. The last nail in the coffin is when they sectioned off the new storyline and new maps as DLC, requiring people to pay. Splitting up the community, and making the game just as stale as before.

Great potential, but developers and publishers have failed due to neglect and apathy.
