Gameplay
Krater is a squad-based real-time strategy role-playing game. The player controls a team of gas masked survivalists in a post-apocalyptic but adventurous wasteland. Players venture in a post-apocalyptic world scoured by a nuclear war. Players can command up to three characters, but reserve members may be purchased.
The combat system of the game is fashioned similar to Blizzard's Diablo series. The player's team always attack together, but individual members can be reassigned to attack other targets. The game features distinctive classes which can range from tanks, damage dealers, and healers. Each member can have up to two fixed skills and are only cooldown dependable. There is no traditional leveling system in the game and is only dependable on stat-enhancing character mods called "implants." The game also features permanent deaths of party members. Once a member dies, they must be replaced with a new recruit.
The crafting system in the game is dependable on acquiring blueprints and gathering materials for the construction of the item. Players find blueprints by either looting dungeons or purchasing from vendors.
