How have I not heard ofKraterbefore today?!

The top-down RPG from Fatshark games (the folks behindLead and Gold: Gangs of the West,andBionic Commando: Rearmed 2), touts an intriguing setting and more than its fair share of seemingly nonsensical terms.Gerontocracy, a government ruled by the elderly, is something that I had to look at a few times before my brain recognized it as a legitimate term.

It’s still a work in progress, butpreordersranging from €14.99 ($20) to €99 ($131) can get you in on the game as it stands now, and all future updates. It’s an interesting mix of Kickstarter andMinecraft-style alpha funding. I know what I’ll be doing when I get paid.
