I know it's been around since 2011 or 2012 but I only just discovered this game in 2026 and I'm really loving the gameplay and art style.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a game clearly meant for co-op which becomes made apparent as you play yet you can still play it solo with no real issues aside from potential tedium from having to clear out everything by yourself slowly yet surely and difficulty (yet I would not call this a difficult game) which because of this I would say the experience co-op is superior.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The colourful visuals, charming characters, and fantasy setting give Spiral Knights a unique personality.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It also has a really fun Bomberman clone PvP game that is very hard to get a queue for unless you have enough people in your guild to just do it...
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The cheerful presentation contrasts effectively with the dangerous environments, while the soundtrack reinforces the adventurous atmosphere with energetic and mysterious compositions that accompany every expedition.
