RELEASE NOTES

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.

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.
