R.E.P.O. can be extremely chaotic, especially when you’re new, so here are some tips to help!

If you’re familiar with Lethal Company, you may be wondering if Repo is just a copycat, or if it’s something you should try. In this article we’ll share a brief review, and a few other details to help you make the decision to buy and play this game with your friends.

Review

Fighting With Rugrat Monster In R.E.P.O. Using A Frying Pan.

Repo is a co-op horror survival game that can be played solo or with up to five friends. You play one of many semibots who work for someone called the Taxman. No one knows for sure who the Taxman really is, but they only reward the hardest of workers and have no patience for slackers.

On each level, your job is to collect valuables from around the map to turn into the Taxman. You have a goal, or quota, that you must clear in order to move on to the next stage.

While you’re looking for these items, there are terrifying monsters that spawn on the map that can and will kill you. So not only do you have to fill your quota with as many items as you can (because the more items you find the more money you’ll make), but you also have to survive.

Repo is a fun, silly, and frightening experience with amazing graphics, original monsters, and creative map designs. During the last two weeks that I’ve been playing it, I’ve laughed so hard I cried. I’ve woken my family many times, screaming when a monster chases me.

From the spooky ambient sounds to the soft dings of the large glass bottle, it’s clear that the developers love what they do and have paid close attention to detail. Even the addition of physics to the robots, items, and monsters adds a level of realism to this silly survival horror game.

The developers keep players of Repo up to date with their entertaining weekly update videos, sharing with fans some of their ideas and plans for the future of Repo.

Time Expenditure

Searching For Valuables While Pushing Cart In R.E.P.O.

There isn’t enough data yet regarding long you can expect to spend in the game. That said, the game actually has no end. As long as you and your friends keep surviving, you’ll keep advancing in levels.

Much of your time will be spent looking for valuables, which spawn randomly and can be in various locations, and hiding from or fighting monsters. Higher-level maps will likely take longer because you’ll have multiple extraction points to clear.

I myself have roughly over 50 hours in the game so far, but you could easily spend countless hours gathering loot, upgrading your stats, and fighting monsters, just to see how far you can get.

Cost

Holding Valuable Above Cart Showing Item's Price In R.E.P.O.

Unlike the item in the above screenshot, Repo is not an expensive game. At just a mere $9.99 on the Steam store, it’s definitely worth at least giving it a try. If you end up not liking the game, at the end of the day you only spent ten bucks.

Since this game is currently in early release, it’s unknown yet if the price will change once it comes out of early release.

What Players Are Saying?

Hilarious Horror While Being Rough Around The Edges – Rena Darling

Nothing brings a group of you and your friends together like screaming in fear as you try and hold on to your expensive goodies!

Sometimes, I had good luck with the mechanics; other times, I was lost on dealing with certain creatures. Overall, it’s a lot of fun once you get over the learning curve.

Fun, but play with friends! – Harry Alston

REPO is the most fun I’ve had with a co-op horror game since Lethal Company. The wide variety of monsters keeps each run fresh, and absolutely horrifying. I didn’t think I was gonna get scared by the game, but it turns out even weird cartoon blobby characters and evil little dolls are scary. Even once you start to master your extracts the game keeps throwing new ridiculousness at you.

Creative, hilarious, and horrifying. – Connie Watson

Every time I boot up this game to play, whether it’s solo or with friends, I’m absolutely blown away by the creativity and passion that the devs have put into Repo. The creativity of the maps, the adorable little semibots, even the terrifying monsters, all bring something special. I have spent so many hours laughing that I’ve given myself headaches, but I’ve also spent the same amount of time filled with anxiety cause I just KNEW that the Robe or the Huntsman were waiting around the corner. To say that I have been obsessed is an understatement.
