REPO is already getting its first replace and it contains the function all of us want most: a method to cease that duck from sabotaging our staff.
On Friday, REPO’s dev staff shared an early have a look at the viral horror sport’s first replace since its early entry launch in February. Whereas there is no launch date for the replace but, we all know not less than just a few highlights which are 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 instances my buddies and I’ve died in REPO due to the lovable, lethal duck. In case you’re in the identical camp, there’ll quickly be a treatment. As its identify suggests, the “duck bucket” is a bucket you may 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 attempting to lug a vase to extraction.
On high of that, the primary replace can even 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 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 properly, together with a visual border at extraction factors, which can mean you can clearly see when an merchandise is out of bounds. You may nonetheless die when you’re caught within the extractor when it is activated, however not less than now you can also make certain your whole hard-earned loot counts towards your quota as a substitute 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 may solely play REPO with buddies who even have the sport, so when 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 function.
The devs defined of their announcement video, “As an amazing majority appears positive with matchmaking the place you may both host public or personal, 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, but it surely includes server coding, which is an entire 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 sport’s first replace. If you have not tried out this whacky indie horror sport but, now’s the proper time to provide it a shot (or persuade your pals to). REPO has exploded over the previous few weeks, incomes 96% optimistic opinions on Steam since its early entry launch.
In case you love Deadly Firm or Amongst Us, REPO will not be a sport you wish to miss. It is shortly grow to be my favourite horror sport due to its hilarious physics and goofy robotic avatars—even when I do hold dying to that duck.
