R.E.P.O. is a multiplayer co-op horror game where players take on the role of extraction agents working for an unknown AI overseer. The main task is to locate and retrieve valuable items from dangerous, abandoned zones. Up to six players can enter each mission, equipped with a physics-based grabbing tool used to lift and carry objects ranging from large furniture to fragile decor. Every item must be transported carefully through unstable environments while avoiding contact with hostile entities that react to sound, light, and movement.
Tension and Strategy
Enemies in R.E.P.O. follow real-world physics and can interact with objects just like the players. This means noise from dropping items or careless movement can lead to detection. Proximity voice chat adds another layer of challenge, as speaking too loudly or too close to danger can expose the team. Coordination is essential—players must move items together, keep lookout, and decide when silence is more valuable than speed. Each level changes in layout and threat level, requiring players to adapt their strategy with every mission.
Upgrades and Progression
Successful extractions reward players with in-game currency called SURPLUS, which can be used to purchase upgrades and tools. Enhancements include improved equipment for handling objects, mobility boosters, and defensive gear to survive tougher missions. The AI employer offers these tools without explanation, pushing players deeper into increasingly hostile locations. R.E.P.O. blends cooperative mechanics, tension-based gameplay, and unpredictable threats into a focused experience where planning, timing, and careful movement decide whether the mission succeeds—or ends abruptly.
