Krater: Co-Op is the newest free expansion pack to the real-time squad based dungeon crawling adventure known as Krater. 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, the Co-Op expansion adds the opportunity to tackle hours of specially designed online Co-Op dungeons and bosses. There have also 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 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.
Krater - Dr. Cerebro Pack
Meet Dr. Cerebro, one of the most notorious medical practitioners in Solside, is a free-digger who alternates between scavenging the dark and treacherous passages of the Underside and serving time in the care of the Solside penal system (for repeatedly being caught red-handed while doing the former.)
Long days without sunlight in a cell can take your mind on a ride and the ever changing and hostile Underside is no picnic for anyone’s sanity. Dr Cerebro is starting to show worrying signs of losing it completely, and wearing that strange device as a replacement for the good old human cranium, is certainly not helping.
Nevertheless - his skills are not to be trifled with and you will not regret hiring him to your team.
