While its generally accepted that one, perhaps two screenshots of a video game can be used to discuss gameplay, four is far too many without having secondary sources critically comment on the gameplay aspects being shown. (See WP:NFCC#3a, "minimal use" for non-free media). Really, at this point, none of the images used are aspects of the game that need visual explaination (with the Blast Network being like Bomberman, readers can refer to that article for it). The better image, if narrowing down to one, would be at some stage during dungeon exploring to show 1) how the game is stylized, and 2) what dungeon crawling looks like in this game.
(Of course, if it were possible to get free content (CC-BY-SA) from Three Rings for these screenshots, that's no long a problem...) -- MASEM ( t) 13:16, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
I understand the reasoning behind your protests, but i must raise this important fact concerning the issue at hand. This game is free to play, meaning that any person with an acceptable P.C. and a steam client installed on that P.C. can download and play Spiral Knights at no charge to themselves. As such I see no reason as to why there cannot be an ample supply of screen shots. Here is the steam page to prove it. [1] Resolutionsmasher ( talk) 21:53, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
The new update in Spiral Knights has lead to new changes for guilds. The guild section is outdated, specifically this sentence, The lowest ranks — Recruit, Member, and Veteran — do not possess any special abilities. The new update gives many new privileges to veterans. Even members can now access the member storage now.

this page will need to be reworked for the update (most probably) taking place tomorrow, 31st of july. this update will change almost everything, from the looting system to crafting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thunder the bright ( talk • contribs) 15:01, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
Mmhmm. There are lots of parts that need to be updated or corrected and some parts that simply need to be listed with less detail. For the former, the last paragraph in the "World" section has glaringly outdated and obvious flaws. I do recommend that if you (the reader) are not familiar with the game that you do not attempt to correct the errors in gameplay mechanics. There is also an excellent wiki for the game available to either cite (if it can be used as a source) or to use as a reference in confirming accuracy. http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Main_Page
The other thing is the sort of summary-in-a-box at the top. Just what does this mean:
"Mode(s): Multiplayer/Solo (mission only)"
Multiplayer or solo, but solo is mission only... I think that this needs to be corrected to say that the game can be played alone but is inherently a multiplayer game with multiplayer features at every turn, aside from those that only affect your player. I dunno, maybe it does say that but it just doesn't seem worded right to me. 184.179.24.178 ( talk) 19:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
The article talks about this as a free-to-play game but doesn't cover how the game developers make money from the game. Is it a purchase premium content game, in game advertising, purchase to make the time taken to do some activity quicker or something else? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.105.165 ( talk) 08:38, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
