Overview
Description

Krater: Shadows over Solside is a real-time squad-based dungeon crawling game that blends fast-paced combat, tactical management, crafting, and questing from a classic RTS perspective. Set in a distant future within a post-apocalyptic Sweden, players guide scavengers through an overgrown, broken world filled with technological artifacts and danger. While the campaign offers a complete offline experience, the game also features a cooperative expansion that opens up specialized online co-op dungeons and bosses. Developed and published by Fatshark, the title delivers an intricate blend of strategic party management and action-oriented dungeon exploration.

Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns is a real‑time strategy game set in a richly detailed fantasy world. Players command armies, manage resources, and influence the political landscape through a unique “Dynamic War” system. The game offers both a deep single‑player campaign and robust multiplayer modes, including co‑operative play, allowing strategic minds to clash or collaborate across Linux and PC platforms.
