Although there's little in the way of production value at the moment (conversations are resolutely text-based and we didn't see much in the way of cinematics), Krater's art style and general presentation convey enough atmosphere to make it stand out for the better. The post-apocalypse setting is well-worn at this point, but there's a sweet comic-book style here that manifests itself in some charming characters, and we can only hope that the overarching narrative lends them enough life for it to become compelling over the planned releases.
Even if that never comes to fruition however, there's an implied level of depth to the customisation, combat and RPG elements in Krater that should stand this first episode in good stead. With plenty of time for a multiplayer reveal and a good dose of polish before their summer launch, it's certainly one for genre fans to keep a close eye on.
