REPO is already getting its first replace and it contains the function all of us want most: a strategy to cease that duck from sabotaging our crew.
On Friday, REPO’s dev crew shared an early take a look at the viral horror sport’s first replace since its early entry launch in February. Whereas there is not any launch date for the replace but, we all know at the least a number of highlights which might be on the best way, together with a brand new map, facial expressions, high quality of life updates, and, most significantly, the duck bucket.
Watch On
I’ve misplaced rely of what number of instances my mates and I’ve died in REPO due to the lovable, lethal duck. In the event you’re in the identical camp, there’ll quickly be a treatment. As its title suggests, the “duck bucket” is a bucket you’ll be able to place over the duck to cease it from following you round – or cease your teammates from by chance clicking on the duck and setting off its monster mode whilst you’re attempting to lug a vase to extraction.
On high of that, the primary replace may also embrace a brand new map referred to as “The Museum.” The devs hinted of their announcement video that this map will function extra alternatives for parkour. So, if you have not misplaced a spherical of REPO to an ill-advised leap but, you may get loads of probabilities to check your talent (and your luck) within the museum.
Some high quality of life enhancements are on the best way, as properly, together with a visual border at extraction factors, which can can help you clearly see when an merchandise is out of bounds. You may nonetheless die in the event you’re caught within the extractor when it is activated, however at the least now you may make certain your entire hard-earned loot counts towards your quota as a substitute of getting destroyed for being simply outdoors of the extractor.
The REPO devs additionally confirmed they’re engaged on public lobbies, following up on a request for participant suggestions from earlier this month. Proper now, you’ll be able to solely play REPO with mates who even have the sport, so in the event you’re solo, you are caught with nobody to play with. Fortunately, public lobbies are on the best way, however it sounds prefer it may take some time for Semiwork to roll out the function.
The devs defined of their announcement video, “As an awesome majority appears wonderful with matchmaking the place you’ll be able to both host public or non-public, along with a kick button, that is what we’ll be trying into. And for the sake of transparency, including a kick button may sound like one thing quite simple, however it includes server coding, which is a complete new space for us.”
Even when it takes some time for Semiwork to introduce public lobbies in REPO, there’s nonetheless rather a lot to be enthusiastic about within the sport’s first replace. If you have not tried out this whacky indie horror sport but, now’s the right time to provide it a shot (or persuade your mates to). REPO has exploded over the previous few weeks, incomes 96% constructive opinions on Steam since its early entry launch.
In the event you love Deadly Firm or Amongst Us, REPO shouldn’t be a sport you need to miss. It is rapidly turn into my favourite horror sport due to its hilarious physics and goofy robotic avatars—even when I do hold dying to that duck.
