At first glance, it appears to be a dungeon crawler, replete with monsters, spells and loot. And yet, it also has elements of real-time strategy, with players managing multiple units, each with their own abilities, strengths and weaknesses. Further still, we've got traditional role-playing elements, including an overworld map and even random encounters.<br /><br />What really sets it apart, however, is the way that <em>Krater</em> treats its characters.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/krater/">Krater</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/krater/#4582348"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/11/kraterimage1xa_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/krater/#4582349"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/11/kraterimage2xa_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/krater/#4582350"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/11/kraterimage3xa_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/krater/#4582351"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/11/kraterimage4xa_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/krater/#4582352"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/11/kraterimage5xa_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/05/snapshot-krater-pc/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Snapshot: Krater (PC)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/05/snapshot-krater-pc/">Snapshot: Krater (PC)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 05 Jul 2012 21:45:00 EST.
