Rally the defense force, Krater is up on the Steam Sale community vote!

YES! Finally - this thread might even make it to 2 pages at this rate! Pylon will be a very happy man!

I really hope it wins!

Edit

Holy shit 2 pages!

[SLV]

I am also interested in it, bumping for great success !

[schnell]

I'm a sucker for the post-apocalypse genre, but I hated Diablo 3. Would I have a chance at enjoying Krater?

[electricpirate]

I voted for it! I planned on buying it eventually, but if it hit's 50% off I'll buy it naow

[Johnlenham]

Was looking at this before the vote, hoping it gets the vote so I can pick it up :)

[TheApatheticOne]

Ive done my part. Now we wait!

Looks awesome, hope it wins!

[dmr87]

Currently watching the GB quick look, and it's quite hilarious as a fellow Swede. I'm definitely getting this, voted on it in the poll so I'll wait and see if it wins, buying it either way.

[Pylon_Trooper]

Voted. Let's get this into the hands of many.

I hated Diablo 3, hated Diablo 3. And I'm #1 Krater fan EU.

Voted. Let's get this into the hands of many.

It's really happening! This thread won't just be you and I discussing patch notes!

[Pylon_Trooper]

Bugger. Who IS this community?! I mean, I love Sanctum and all, but...

...ah well, it'll pop up in a flash sale, surely.

[Canis lupus]

I know, I voted for Krater too :/

Sacntum has already BEEN on sale a million times and in this very summer sale! Come ON people!

[HiddenSentry]

Yea, I voted for this too. Shame. The alpha I played had enough decent parts for me to drop 10 bucks on it.

[Twinduct]

Fucking rigged!

[Pinko Marx]

Damn, and I was positive this would win the vote. Will wait for flash deal, or if not, I'll just wind up buying it anyway.

[Forsaken82]

I voted Krater and wasn't even sure if I would buy or not... :(

[BigWeather]

Voted for it too. Hopefully we'll see it in a flash.

[schnell]

I hated Diablo 3, hated Diablo 3. And I'm #1 Krater fan EU.

Pretty strong recommendation! Thanks.

We got robbed on that vote.

[Moobabe]

Pretty strong recommendation! Thanks. We got robbed on that vote.

My outrage knows no bounds - also (shameless self promotion until Pylon puts it in the OP) - you can read my actual recommendation here! - it's slightly more in depth than "#1 Krater fan EU"

[Pylon_Trooper]

Will add when I get home, Mubly.

[Moobabe]

Will add when I get home, Mubly.

You're a true champion.

[Pylon_Trooper]

You're a true champion.

And done!

[Parakeetman]

Just went and bought it. will see how it is.

[Moobabe]

Just went and bought it. will see how it is.

You, too, are a leader amongst men. There's not much in the way of a tutorial of some of the more complex systems; so if you've any questions just ask us.

Credit to the Steam thread - but this is sensational:

[Pylon_Trooper]

Finished a nice session this eve as a mid-week fatigue buster. I say phooey to those who stated they formed no attachment to their little band of awkward soldiers! I'm going to be rather sad when life on the road in Solside gets too much for my current team. I've got an old veteran Bruiser who has seen a thing or two and one more fall in a fight just might require him to be put out to a boozy pasture at some bar somewhere.

It will be a sad day. Might need to take a few rookies into Limbo with him to grind out some semblance of a contingency plan.

That's what I enjoy so much - I wish there was some kind of legacy programme so you could retire your guys to create a new one with slightly higher stats - it'd give people a lot more incentive to go back over the older areas that they might have missed.

I love this game - if I didn't have to play Anomaly for review I'd be all over it again.

[Pylon_Trooper]

I'd even settle for a hall of fame, so I could scroll through my once-were warriors. A little portrait, stats underneath, a pithy line below.

Maybe a mentor programme instead of an itemisation glue-factory, assigning a old dog in essence to a new character and receive a stat boost or some sort of buff in the early game. Or a couple of juicy boosters...and with that, the tired soldier of a bygone age nods sagely before disappearing over the hill to spend his twilight years hobbling about a hobby farm, feeding chickens and waiting for his maker.

[Herb]

I've had this since alpha and played at release. I should definitely get back to playing this. Will quench the need to play Torchlight II.

'Joaquin The Northerner' Strength Booster - I can see it now...

[Parakeetman]

Finally got the game working and must say this does indeed have a great soundtrack like folks have mentioned here. Interesting system too with how the game plays for an isometric ARPG. Am digging it so far and do not regret this purchase at all!

"I like beers and I HATE BEARS!"

Best quote ever from the game.

You know that would be pretty damned cool

[Moobabe]

Patch? No patch notes?! Pylon why are you doing this to me?

[Pylon_Trooper]

I didn't realise the update was live! Anyway, same changes as the ones listed prior. Will adjust the OP.

[Parakeetman]

Question, is there any way to make your character "forget" a previously learned blueprint? Since it seems I cant overwrite the one already learned with a better one. D:

You should be able to overwrite it? You mean like boosters or implants?

[Parakeetman]

Its for a rifle for the Regulator. Right clicking on it seems to do nothing. I already have it learned, which makes me thing that for some reason it does not want to be overwritten. Its a different blueprint too.

If you already know the blueprint then you don't need to overwrite it - they all get stored once you learn them. You can sell repeat blueprints.

cmon steam, give me a Krater sale!

[Moobabe]

cmon steam, give me a Krater sale!

We're all hoping

[Moobabe]

cmon steam, give me a Krater sale!

Double post? I DON'T CARE!!!

50% off guys.

[Tryckser]

I bought it, if it's bad I will come and haunt you :D

[LeCapitan]

Does multiplayer work yet? I read something about a patch in August.

[Euphor!a]

Just a quick question about this game that I had some concern over... I read in the IGN review that partway through the game "you're forced to throw your party out the window and start anew several times mid-game."

Is this true? I fucking hate when games do this and I have stopped playing games in the past because of it.

That's been patched out - it's not spoilers: your initial crew could only rank up to 5 - now you can boost that cap by paying.

It was scheduled for July - but they pushed it back to work on some of the criticism they received, but I'd imagine August is the plan.

I can handle that :p

It's a core gameplay mechanic, yes.

There's word of a 'fix' for that because there are a LOT of people unhappy about it, but I'm not sure if it was already implemented or still in the works. It may even be just a rumor.

I too think it is a remarkable decision and it annoyed me greatly when I found out my party wasn't leveling up anymore because they reached their personal level cap.

Other than that I can highly recommend this game, especially now it's on sale on Steam. It's colorful, lighthearted, doesn't take itself too seriously but still has some good lore and a unique style to it. And the music is amazing, some of it sounds like it's coming from an undiscovered Vangelis album. Interchangeable party members is a pretty interesting system but ultimately 'broken' because of the individual level caps.


*edit: it seems I've been bested by Moobabe - the patch is already out and a "fix" is in order.

Paying with real money or in-game money? Also , is that DLC character Dr. Cerebro worth picking up?

[honorless]

Admittedly, I looked pretty quickly, but there's no mention of the extras in the Collector's Edition. So...

What exactly does the Dr. Cerebro DLC entail? Can he die permanently like other recruits? Is he so overpowered that he's like an instant-win button?

Is there somewhere I can preview the soundtrack? I'm not inclined to shell out for one unless I know I'll like it.

[Moobabe]

In game money - and he's just a mutant healer who can rank up to 15 without you needing to pay to increase his cap.

He's not insta-win - he can permanently die as well. And maybe on youtube? The soundtrack is really good, though if you can't find previews you'll have to take my word for it I'm afraid.

Is 15 the level cap?
