Exciting changes are on the horizon for REPO as the developers plan to refine its difficulty scaling by introducing new mechanics every 10 levels. Dive into the details of the upcoming Overcharge mechanic adjustments and discover what the team at Semiwork has been up to during the game's open beta.
REPO Development Updates
Overcharge Overhaul
During the recent open beta, REPO garnered crucial feedback from fans, with a particular focus on the Overcharge mechanic. This feature, which allows players to pick up enemies and hurl them against hard surfaces or away from their team, comes with a twist. An overcharge meter fills up during use, and if it reaches its limit, the player will explode.
Originally introduced right from the start, the developers have decided to unlock the Overcharge mechanic at level 10. Moreover, they plan to introduce new mechanics that ramp up the difficulty at levels 20, 30, and beyond, with Overcharge marking the beginning of these challenges.
These new mechanics will be deeply connected to the game's lore, as Semiwork's team emphasized, "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
In a unique approach to gather player feedback, developers from Semiwork participated incognito in random matches during the open beta. Pontus Sundstrom, a developer at Semiwork, expressed his delight in seeing players enjoy the new additions to the game.
He shared, "And I've also actually played with a lot of you guys - incognito, in secret, through the random matchmaking in the servers." Sundstrom further noted, "And I've been asking some questions and finding out what you guys find fun, stuff like that."
With the valuable insights gained from the community during the open beta, Semiwork is committed to enhancing REPO. Players can anticipate more exciting updates as the developers have pledged to keep the community informed. Stay updated with the latest on R.E.P.O. by checking out our dedicated article below!
