Does anyone remember Spiral Knights? The game is effectively on life support with very few people playing and laggy servers, but it really had the potential to be something special before the publisher dipped out.
And man, the soundtrack… The town theme still lives in my head rent free. I really wish it were more successful.
Probably over a decade ago they did a cross promotion with TF2 when TF2 was doing that sort of thing for unlocking exclusive hats.
If I remember right… You got some extra starting gear for being a TF2 player, had to play up through a certain point in the starting quests or for a few hours, and then you got the default starter Spiral Knight helmet as a hat for TF2. I planned on just doing the minimum and getting back to PUTTIN A DISPENSER HERE, but I didn’t end up going back to TF2 that night. That said, I think I only played Spiral Knights once or twice more. Couldn’t even get my TF2 playing friends to join me on it just to get them the hat.

I played that many, many years ago but it was too slow-paced for my taste back then
Dunno, felt a lot like a “slot machine” type of game with how they monetized it. Hated it.
At least that was my impression when I played it some years ago.

This is what I remember as well. Also it was laggy.
That game was a lot of fun, and the aesthetics were on point. Couldn’t keep my friends interested so I stopped playing.
I’m kinda glad you mentioned it - https://discord.com/invite/the-arcade-147086422006824962 I’d say the community is pretty thriving for its size.
Grey Havens keeps the servers running while there are still people supporting the game.
I never played much of it but it really did seem full of potential. Wish I could have experienced it properly.
