Early Access Review
Spiral Knights meets Minecraft. Mysticism mixes with technology as you use arcane artifacts to bend the world around you to your will.

That's just the aesthetic, though. The atmosphere is spot-on, from the music (that is, I'll admit, eerily similar to Minecraft's) to the guttural growl of the Miru outside your house as you hide in the light of your moss-burning torch. An eager chase after a nearby Keepa, holder of the arcstones that make such pretty little lights. The awe and shame as you accidentally light a tarpit on fire with your torch. It's all delightful, and it reminds me why I loved playing Minecraft years ago!

I'll admit I'm not very far into the game at all at this point of writing. I've only just gotten my Iron Mining Cell, but I had a heap of fun getting there with my friend. And this game is very much worth playing with friends. Perhaps while you're in voice chat, if possible?

Other reviews say it as well, but this game is immensely easy to set up servers on. Just hop in game, create a world, and start inviting friends! You can even set a password.
