Krater's latest DLC is out today on Steam, and it's co-op-tastic. The co-op DLC is the first of three free packs, while the Mayhem MK13 character is $3. He's also ugly. But in a good way. We think. Check out the video above and screens below to decide for yourself.
Krater DLC drops to earth on October 23
Krater's coming batch of free co-op DLC is set to hit on October 23 via Steam, bringing with it updates to the single-player campaign."The game experience from day one to now is very different," says Fatshark producer Robert Bäckström. "We have listened to the player feedback. There is a lot things adjusted and added to the game. If you played the game at release, and play it on October 23rd, you will get a whole new experience."Shortly after this DLC drop comes some new character DLC, focused on visual customization. As we noted in our Snapshot of Krater, adding vanity items to your characters is a lot like dressing up your favorite sword or gun, since the characters themselves behave more like intricate weapons than standard avatars. But now they're pretty weapons.

If you haven't played Fatshark's Krater yet, you've missed out on its synth-heavy, John Carpenter-esque soundtrack. That's okay though, because the soundtrack is now available for all to enjoy.

Watch the video.Confusion aside, if you like the music, you can nab it for $11 on iTunes or pick up a boxed edition, which includes both the soundtrack and a copy of Krater, from the Fatshark store.

Snapshot: Krater (PC)
There are so many games out there we couldn't possibly review them all. Welcome to Snapshot, where we highlight games that might fall outside our usual coverage but are still something we think you should know about. Today: Krater for PC. Krater defies our usual classifications. 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.What really sets it apart, however, is the way that Krater treats its characters.%Gallery-138382%
