Spiral Knights is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game created by Three Rings Design and published by Sega. Operating out of the town of Haven on the planet's surface, the knights descend into the Clockworks, with the goal of understanding the mysterious energy source at the planet's core. When exploring the Clockworks, knights cooperate to defeat crowds of monsters of various types, while dodging traps and solving simple puzzles. There are four main bosses, each with an alternate "Shadow Lair" variant, and numerous mini-bosses. Character progress comes not through the improvement of personal statistics, but rather through upgrades to equipment. Clockworks parties are limited to four knights and player-versus-player contests are limited to six-versus-six. Instances of Haven typically have tens of knights present. Players can spend real-world money to purchase an in-game commodity called energy. Energy can be exchanged for other commodities and currency, to accelerate a knight's development.
