Krater Launches, Perhaps Not Quite Ready [Updated]
Krater - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Nathan Grayson)

Well, at least it looks nice.

Update: The achievement system has officially been patched in, and it sounds as though many glitches are largely confined to specific hardware configurations. We’ll have our thoughts on the game itself up soon, but in the meantime, the coast appears to be largely clear.

Original article: So Krater sounds> really great to me. It’s the silver-tongued sales shark of action-RPGs. “Tired of graybrown, grimdark post-apocalypses?” it asks. “Well, ours has color!” Then it adds “Planning to take another 11 years off from ARPGs after that one> with the guy and stuff? Well, we have three guys and stuff. And also permadeath in a mode you don’t have to unlock.” “Sold!” I’d immediately reply, if I didn’t briefly gaze into Krater’s wavering eyes and detect a hint of fear. “What about bugginess and missing features?” I inquire, head cocked to one side. Beads of sweat pooling on its forehead, it stammers out an “Er, um, well, about that… hey, a trailer!”

Now Available - Krater!
Krater - Valve
Krater is Now Available on Steam!

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.

Krater

This Game Has a $10,000 Collector's Edition. I Kinda Want it.Fatshark's upcoming Krater has one of, if not the most expensive collector's edition I've ever seen. There's only one available. And it costs $10,000.


What do you get for that kind of cash? No statues, no cloth maps, no unlockable skins in multiplayer...just a friendly visit to your house from Krater Game Designer Victor Magnuson.


It's not just a social visit. Once inside, he'll cook you a meal, then will sit down and guide you through the game for a few hours. The offer is apparently good anywhere in the world.


It's called the Victor Edition. Those wondering what he can/will cook, you'll get to choose from delicacies such as Viking Burger, Swedish Meatballs, Fisksaetra Pita Burger Special, or an Ester Ore Pretto Pizza. Whatever that is.


Those who don't fancy the concept of a Swedish game designer coming all that way just to cook, you can spend $9000 and he'll skip the meal part. Bargain!


It's a joke, I know. From the price to the "content" to the fact it's a Swedish chef. Only, there's a listing for it on Fatshark's store. And it has no hesitation letting you add it to your cart. And news of it was sent over by Fatshark's PR with neither a wink nor a nudge. And even flying business class Fatshark would surely still turn a profit from $10000 spent on the thing. So...


Krater $10,000 Victor Edition [Fatshark, thanks Inget!]
