The game takes place around a gigantic impact crater where cities have been built on and even whole nations emerged from the rubble and aftermath of a huge bomb explosion. The center of the crater is an abyss that stretches deeper into Earth than anyone has ever been able to dig previously.
One of the players’ main goals is to build a team and try to get as deep as possible into the abyss. The game world offers several joinable factions and groups, such as the Free-diggers, for example, bands of fortune seekers who compete with each other to excavate valuable pre-armageddon technology from an endless system of tunnels, caves and bunkers, called the Underside.
Krater presents a post-apocalyptic top down action RPG and is based around extensive crafting, exploration and consequence. Which to me sounds like a hybrid of things we love from other popular games. The extensive crafting allows you to craft unique abilities, weapons and items for you to go around and serve some of your very own justice with. Other gameplay element’s that Krater includes is character persistence, where both injuries and experience work in conjunction and are key elements to evolve the player’s team over time. Krater combines combat mechanics of action-RPGs with top-down tactics of classic old-school dungeon crawlers to present to players a possibly challenging but fun game.
Krater will be dropping in retail stores in the UK and Ireland on August 17th 2012 and August 31st 2012 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Einfo Games said in their Krater Review ” Anyone looking for a casual stroll through the end of the world will definitely want to pick up this right now. ”
