The Strangest Video Game Collector’s Editions Ever Made – SlashGear

With gameplay similar to the “Diablo” series, “Krater” is a 2012 game developed by Fatshark. A role-playing game with real-time strategy elements, the player takes control of a squad of survivors trying to make it in a post-apocalyptic world in Sweden following a nuclear war. Commanding three characters of different classes at the same time, including the likes of tanks, healers, and long-range or close-quarters attacking units.

However, any character that dies will be permanently lost and need to be replaced. Along the way, players can acquire new weapons and items by finding blueprints and gathering the necessary materials to expand their arsenal. Reviews for “Krater” were largely mixed, with most critics feeling it had too little content and unbalanced combat.

Engadget reported that a special edition of “Krater” was available at a cost of $10,000. The “$10,000 Victor Edition” came with a rather unusual perk, with the main designer for the game offering to hand deliver it to anywhere in the world. Once he arrived at the buyer’s home he would also cook them a meal and play “Krater” with them. A self-styled great cook, Victor Magnuson offered a choice of several meals, including Swedish meatballs and a Viking burger.
