You are stranded.
But you are not alone.
The Spiral Knights have awoken on an alien world. Their equipment stores have been raided and their starship, The Skylark, will not recover from the crash. Now they must work together to survive on a journey that will take them to the very core of the world.

Meh.
I played it a while after it came out, but this whole "play for free" is false advertising. You pretty much HAVE TO buy energy so you can craft high level stuff so you can access later dungeons. Same policy as "play free to lvl 10" in some mmos.
Energy Market
One can actually buy energy with in-game currency, through the energy market. So it is indeed Free-to-Play.
To me this game's a fun little dungeon crawler.
Maps are always slightly different in a Diablo 1 manner.
Loot is shared across the party or randomly assigned to a player (read: no loot ninja).
Community is decent though chat can be empty at once.
New content is added quite often, and they run in-game surveys for feedback.
They've also added Bomberman-style PvP and more recently Capture the Flag.
IMO definitely worth checking out, especially if you have a child/young relative and are looking for a game you can play with them. Cross-platform too.
Yup my bad, I guess when I
Yup my bad, I guess when I was playing this option was not available yet. That, or I'm just stupid :)

This game is really polished and good looking, but it gets boring so fast it is unbeliavable
