GAME SUMMARY

Krater

Rating: 4 (62 votes cast)

Krater is a squad based roleplaying game set in a colorful post-apocalyptic world. It combines the combat mechanics of action-rpgs with the top-down view of the classic old-school RPG and RTS games.

The game brings you far into the future of a post-apocalyptic Sweden. Once home to IKEA, Vikings and Minecraft, today its primitive inhabitants scavenge the broken overgrown world for technological artifacts.

At the rim of an impact site known as the Krater, three factions vie for control over the wound opening up into the world below. Consisting of an endless series of caves and tunnels filled with old world treasures and perils, the Underside stretches into the depths of the fallen Swedish civilization.

You arrive at the Krater with your team of freelancers to take part in the goldrush where people come back rich or don’t come back at all.

Key Features:

  • Unlimited Adventure - no matter how deep you crawl, there is always more to explore in an open game world where randomized dungeons and events are combined with more than 60 thoroughly designed locations and 200+ quests in order to create a vast gaming experience. Locations range from small settlements with a handful of struggling inhabitants to large urban areas like Solside City, a sprawling regional HUB where you’ll find all sorts of NPCs and services.
  • Uniquely Persistent Characters - watch your team of odd personalities evolve as they level up and gain new abilities, stat increases and equipment, but also...
  • Face the Consequences - your characters must cope with the dangers of Krater - if not they will face the threat of permanent injuries or even death.
  • Craft Everything - from items, weapons, and gear to the abilities and powers of your characters, you can craft it all with an extensive crafting system.
  • Co-op - Seamless blending of coop and singleplayer - use your characters to explore an open-ended game world in single player, either by following the main story campaign or just free-roaming the Krater (or a mix of both). You can at any time have your team join up with a friend to take on one of the challenging co-op dungeons. All the loot earned and progress made is kept regardless of game mode. And yes, your grinding efforts will be kept for the coming PvP expansion as well!
  • Living title - the game comes from a long test phase with weekly updates of the Steam build that has improved gameplay, added content or new features. This will continue even after release and you can expect free expansions that add or expand on game mechanics, locations, player characters and enemies.
  • Visual appearance: The game uses the DX11 API (but it also support DX10 hardware) to be able to use beautiful and varied environment and character art. The enemy units are not all simple texture variations on the same model, but sport unique meshes, animation sets and effects to a large extent.

Krater review

By Lamcia posted 20th April

Krater is a game of mediocricity.

The story is pretty meh, nothing really fascinating, but nothing really bad too.

And i think, it's the same with every other element of this game, starting from controls, to the RPG aspect of the game, it's just such an average game, that i don't think it's worth more than $5-6.

Best to skip it

Does the most important part of an action RPG, the combat, poorly. Not much of a much in the way of story either. You'd be better off picking up a different ARPG.

Krater review

By zigo_meno posted 20th November 2012

This is a good game. It have the squad controlling style, like Dawn of War II, but with a greater focus on RPG elements. The story is interesting and the visual art is beatifull for a post-apocalyptical world.

Sadly, it have great problems regarding compatibility with some video cards (like mine), so i can't play using it, but i can still play using the Intel HD, although the rather low fps.

Krater review

By TheGamingGuy posted 21st September 2012

Be aware that this game is an RPG, but is also top-down. It does have a lot of action to it, sometimes taking over the RPG elements of it. It does have a very nice art style!

Very interesting take on the hack and slash genre

By Yian posted 26th August 2012

This game is quite different, but in a good way.

It takes the hack and slash + loot formula of Diablo, but you don't control one but three characters at any given time.

You can recruit and level up different characters from various races and classes and mix and match them to assamble the perfect squad.

It's made by a swedish team, which shows in the quirky humor in the dialougue and item descriptions in the game. It also has a very unique artstyle and nice music.

Recommended!

Good, but not what I expected.

By spamb0t posted 24th June 2012

Honestly, I'm not sure what I was expecting. It's a nice little game with Hothead-esque humour, and as a Swede there's a lot of "in-jokes" that makes me laugh. But the gameplay is repetative, as it tends to be with many hack'n'slash games. I guess if Diablo and Deathspank ever got a baby, this would be it. There's just not enough variety in the game for it to truly reach it's potential, and the humour quickly gets old. For hack'n'slash gamers I would recommend it, but don't expect an RPG. Because whatever they tell you, Krater isn't one. If you know this, they I think it's a truly enjoyable game, but for me who expected something slightly different, three stars is all I can give it.
