R.E.P.O. is an online cooperative horror game where players work together to recover valuable objects from abandoned, haunted locations. Up to six players take on the role of retrieval agents under the command of a cold, calculating AI. Each mission drops the team into environments filled with unpredictable threats and mysterious artifacts. Using a physics-based grabbing tool, players must locate and transport items without damaging them, all while avoiding the dangers that lurk in the dark.
Physics-Based Gameplay and Team Strategy
What sets Repo apart is the emphasis on realistic object handling. Large and fragile items behave according to weight and balance, requiring careful coordination and movement through tight corridors or ruined structures. Players must communicate through proximity voice chat to plan extraction paths, avoid sudden noise, and react when monsters are nearby. Sound plays a major role—speaking too loudly or dropping an object might alert hostile creatures, forcing players to freeze or scatter to avoid detection. Every object extracted rewards the team with currency, adding tension to each risky retrieval.
Upgrades, Tools, and Survival
Between missions, players can spend earned resources to upgrade their characters with robotic enhancements, tools, and defensive equipment. These upgrades help deal with more aggressive threats or allow for safer handling of larger items. Some enhancements improve mobility, while others offer protective measures or temporary distractions for enemies. As missions grow more complex, teamwork becomes essential for success and for survival. Repo blends strategic coordination, horror atmosphere, and physical interaction into a game where silence, timing, and cooperation are often more important than speed.
