Exciting changes are on the horizon for REPO, as the developers at Semiwork are set to refine the game's difficulty scaling and Overcharge mechanic. Dive into the details of the upcoming updates and learn what the team has been working on during the open beta phase.
REPO Development Updates
Overcharge Overhaul
Following the open beta release, REPO's developers at Semiwork have been fine-tuning the game based on valuable player feedback. A key focus has been the Overcharge mechanic, which lets players counter enemies by lifting and hurling them onto hard surfaces or away from their team. However, this powerful move comes with a catch: an overcharge meter that, once full, causes the player to explode.
Originally available from the game's outset, the Overcharge mechanic will now be unlocked at level 10. Additionally, Semiwork plans to introduce new mechanics every 10 levels (at levels 20, 30, and so on) to progressively ramp up the difficulty. Overcharge marks the beginning of this challenging journey.
These new mechanics will not only enhance gameplay but will also be intricately linked to the game's lore. As Semiwork stated, "So this system will be also tied to lore. It won’t be just a gimmick for no reason. There will be something attached to this and we will share more details in the future."
Developers Joined Open Beta Matchmaking
Throughout the open beta, Semiwork developers immersed themselves in the player experience by joining random matches. This hands-on approach allowed them to gather firsthand feedback on potential improvements. Pontus Sundstrom, a developer at Semiwork, expressed his delight at seeing players enjoy the new features, stating, "And I've also actually played with a lot of you guys - incognito, in secret, through the random matchmaking in the servers." He further added, "And I've been asking some questions and finding out what you guys find fun, stuff like that."
With the wealth of community feedback received, Semiwork is committed to enhancing REPO in future updates. Players can anticipate more exciting developments as the developers continue to engage and share updates. Stay informed about all the latest on R.E.P.O. by clicking on our article below!
