Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a short, tightly linear platforming route may bounce off the nonlinear level structure.
- Players who want combat without puzzle-solving, exploration, or timed objectives may hit a wall when progression requires using J1M and searching levels.
- Players looking for multiplayer action may not find a match in this single-player-focused campaign.
Our take on Terrian Saga: KR-17
The likely bounce point is the shift between combat and exploration: players must use J1M to reach distant targets and open routes, then search nonlinear boards for Gears and hidden jetpacks. Anyone expecting a straightforward run-and-gun sequence may stall when progress depends on investigating the level layout.
What is Terrian Saga: KR-17?
Play as KR-17, a military drone that becomes self-aware after activation for war.
The side-scrolling action puzzle-platformer follows its mission to subdue a rogue agent at a sabotaged installation on Valiant. Across 65 boards in 9 themed zones, players battle enemy robots with upgradable weapons such as a laser, grenades, and a flamethrower. The sentient missile J1M can attack distant targets, open routes, and support exploration. Nonlinear areas sit alongside fast action-platforming sequences, while in-level dialogue develops the relationship between KR-17 and J1M. Players can collect Gears, locate hidden jetpacks, race against the clock, fight 8 bosses, and earn Steam Achievements that alter the character.
