I find it fun :c
But one thing i must nitpick, i'm trying to upgrade my Cutter because it's only two stars and kind of weak at this point, the Wiki shows the Striker as sold by Basil in recipe form, he doesn't have it (in the Bazaar and the Clockworks Terminal before the Moorcraft Manor) and by Quillion as the weapon itself in the Bazaar but he doesn't have it either
I have the materials needed for both the Striker and the Hunting Blade that i hope to get one day, yet i can't find those weapons nor their recipes anywhere but i must continue to use the Cutter series because it's been so helpful to me, it attacks up to 5 times and attacks twice in one swing so that 10 strikes total and it's charge attack is a really cool combo strike
Spiral Knights is fun at the beginning because Tier 1 isn't a pure torture chamber.
Tier 2 and 3 are the most frustrating pieces of stuff I've ever been through in a game.
Why?
Here's a list.
1. Terrible hitdetection
This happened to me when I still played.
I tried to hit some sort of bat thing when it was insanely close to me and in front of me, didn't even scratch it.
It then moved all the way to the other corner, performed an attack, and it hit me and killed me.
Note that I was still standing at the other corner.
Ironclaw Munitions factory is probably the easiest boss level of them all.
This would have been true if it wasn't for those damn rockets.
Sure I would not have minded them at all if they didn't hit me every time while they didn't hit me at all, but according to this game's stuffty programming I apparently DID get hit and they kill me.
2. Terrible bugs
I often got this glitch where I would randomly teleport a little to the left and to the right.
As you can guess, this isn't the most practical thing that could happen while passing, for example, spike rooms in Royal Jelly Palace, rockets in Ironclaw Munitions Factory, and passing EVERY loving OBSTACLE BECAUSE THE ENTIRE LEVEL ITSELF IS AN OBSTACLE IN FIRESTORM CITADEL.
I would also get terrible lag from this game while other games with better graphics could easily run.
3. Terrible gameplay
Oh yay, I've cleared the Royal Jelly Palace!
Now I only need to do it 523 times again in order to gain enough money to trade it for ce for an insanely high price so I can gather 1600 ce so I can create 4 star items so I can proceed to the next tier!
Oh yay, I've gained a recipe for a 4 star item! Now I only need to pay a ridiculously high price so I can gain this item that isn't even useful to begin with!
Oh yay, I got to the boss of Firestorm Citadel, a really hard level that is frustrating as hell! I only have to hit him 5030523 times with the strongest weapons in order to unveil his weakness which I only have to hit 60316712642 times to make him go to his second form where I only have to hit him 5252623673 times in order to win which will get me 3 boss tokens out of the 40 that I need for something that's a little useful!
