REPO is already getting its first replace and it consists of the characteristic all of us want most: a technique to cease that duck from sabotaging our staff.
On Friday, REPO’s dev staff shared an early take a look at the viral horror recreation’s first replace since its early entry launch in February. Whereas there isn’t any launch date for the replace but, we all know not less than just a few highlights which can be on the way in which, together with a brand new map, facial expressions, high quality of life updates, and, most significantly, the duck bucket.
Watch On
I’ve misplaced depend of what number of occasions my associates and I’ve died in REPO due to the lovable, lethal duck. For those who’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 when you’re making an attempt to lug a vase to extraction.
On high of that, the primary replace may even embrace a brand new map referred to as “The Museum.” The devs hinted of their announcement video that this map will characteristic extra alternatives for parkour. So, if you have not misplaced a spherical of REPO to an ill-advised soar but, you will get loads of possibilities to check your ability (and your luck) within the museum.
Some high quality of life enhancements are on the way in which, as effectively, together with a visual border at extraction factors, which is able to mean you can clearly see when an merchandise is out of bounds. You may nonetheless die in case you’re caught within the extractor when it is activated, however not less than now you can also make positive your whole hard-earned loot counts towards your quota as an alternative of getting destroyed for being simply exterior 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 associates who even have the sport, so in case you’re solo, you are caught with nobody to play with. Fortunately, public lobbies are on the way in which, but it surely sounds prefer it may take some time for Semiwork to roll out the characteristic.
The devs defined of their announcement video, “As an amazing majority appears high quality 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 wanting into. And for the sake of transparency, including a kick button may sound like one thing quite simple, but it surely entails 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 lots to be enthusiastic about within the recreation’s first replace. If you have not tried out this whacky indie horror recreation but, now’s the right time to present it a shot (or persuade your folks to). REPO has exploded over the previous few weeks, incomes 96% optimistic critiques on Steam since its early entry launch.
For those who love Deadly Firm or Amongst Us, REPO isn’t a recreation you need to miss. It is rapidly change into my favourite horror recreation due to its hilarious physics and goofy robotic avatars—even when I do maintain dying to that duck.
