A newly released indie co-op horror game, R.E.P.O., is rapidly climbing the Steam popularity charts and is being touted as an exceptional clone of Lethal Company — for good reason. Although it is still in early access, R.E.P.O. has hit numerous achievements just days after its launch.
R.E.P.O., which stands for “Retrieve, Extract, & Profit Operation,” succinctly encapsulates its gameplay concept. This co-op horror game permits groups of up to six players to band together in a mission to gather and retrieve valuable items from a haunted mansion. In a comparison context, R.E.P.O. merges the hide-and-seek style of Dandy’s World with the physics and gameplay model of Lethal Company. Players navigate rounds scavenging for collectibles while dodging the fearsome creatures that guard them.
Summary
- R.E.P.O. combines mechanics from Dandy’s World with the style of Lethal Company and is recognized for its immersive gameplay.
- The game is achieving immense success on Steam with an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating and poised for viral popularity.
- It distinguishes itself from other Lethal Company clones through its hilarious physics-based mechanics and entertaining interactions with monsters.
With its ongoing success and several popular streamers backing it, R.E.P.O. looks set to replicate the viral success of Lethal Company. The developers intend to keep the game in early access for approximately six to twelve months and are planning more features ahead of its full release.
