2 - Why is it so addicting?

Yay, another comic! This time of my new favorite Free to Play MMO; Spiral Knights. I found this out by one of *tinyemi's livestreams, then I looked it up, and now it's one of my happily installed Steam games. (: The comic pretty much explains the whole game, but in case you missed it;

It's about you, a lone knight, crash landing on the planet of Cradle, your starship is destroyed, but fear not! There is a rescue camp ahead where your fellow knights are, then onto Haven, the city inhabited by the Strangers. (tall dude with miner hat in the last panel). You go down into the Clockworks("dungeons"), level up your gear, craft it into new gear, explore deeper and deeper till you reach the Core, which should have enough energy to get you back into space.

*exhales* That's about it. It has a unique style to it, and addictive gameplay, which plays a LOT like the Legend of Zelda series. You should try it out, either on Steam or in-browser. Remember, it's FREE! (save for the worse part about the game; ENERGY!)
