About Krater

✦ AI summary

Lead a squad of customizable freelancers through randomized dungeons and handcrafted locations in post-apocalyptic Sweden, managing tactical combat, crafting, and injuries in real-time from an RTS perspective. Team up online for co-op missions or tackle the endless loot-filled Underside solo, where every expedition into the Krater's depths offers new dangers, quests, and treasures to discover.

Krater is real-time squad based dungeon crawling adventure. The game combines fast paced combat, tactical squad management, crafting, and questing all seen from a classic RTS perspective.

While the game’s campaign can be played offline, there are also hours of specifically designed co-op missions to tackle with friends online.
Since release, there have been tweaks/improvements to just about everything else, from game balance to improved loot/item generation to a reworked HUD and smoother graphical performance.

The game universe 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 gold rush where people come back rich or don’t come back at all.

Key Features:

  • Co-Op Adventure - Loot together through hours of specially designed co-op missions. Conquer tough co-op bosses together and bring your spoils back to the main campaign.
  • Unlimited Exploration - No matter how deep you crawl, there is always more to explore in Krater’s open world. Packed full of randomized dungeons and events, more than 60 handcrafted original locations, and 200+ quests. Locations range from small settlements to large urban areas like Solside City, a sprawling regional hub where you’ll find all sorts of NPCs and services.
  • Achievements - Earn over 40 achievements online or offline.
  • Uniquely Persistent Characters - Watch your team of odd personalities evolve as they level up and gain new abilities, equipment, better stats, and even incur injuries.
  • Face the Consequences - Your characters must cope with the dangers of Krater - if not they will face the threat of gameplay affecting permanent injuries or even death!
  • Craft Everything - From items and weapons, to gear and abilities, you can craft it all with an extensive crafting system.
  • Unique Graphical Style - Krater makes great use of the new Bitsquid engine, which sports pleasing DX11 graphical features and lighting effects to create a one of a kind universe full of sun soaked towns & amazing environments, colourful effects, and complicated characters.
  • No mandatory connection to an online service - For those who would rather stay clear of online gaming services and login screens, Krater provides the entire Single-Player campaign in ‘offline’ mode.

If you can score this while it's on sale, I suggest giving it a try. Actually didn't mind this one.

The game feels outdated with clunky controls and poor graphics. The gameplay is shallow, and it quickly becomes monotonous. Overall, it's disappointing and not engaging enough for modern players.

First bootup, screen resolution was incorrect, second start no sound. Third restart, everything seems good until I press start then crash. I can't recomment.

The game crashes rather consistently during Chapter 2, so I'm just giving up on it. The combat is plentiful, but pretty mind numbing. The story feels like a bunch of ideas were tossed into a hat and then placed on a storyboard at random. Lots of recruitable characters that are devoid of personality.

This game does not work. If you make it work, you then play the game, and it sucks.
Not recommended Jun 5, 2026
Started the game and played it for a bit and then didn't played again until now (13 years layer) and oh boy... What an experience. The combat is repetitive after a few hours, there's a story but is not even close to something interesting, the performance of the game is demanding having in mind how old the game is. The camera plays against you since you can rotate and zoom, but not tilt it too. A bit more depth on the combat management would be nicer, and the combat difficulty and penalties for losing seem too much
