REPO is one of the newest indie games to take off on Steam, proving to be a huge hit with horror and co-op fans. Currently in early access, REPO takes the Lethal Company formula and brings its own twist. This makes the game a great source of both scares and laughs, and it's well worth a try for Steam users.
Over the years, Steam has been the stage where a lot of indie developers hope to debut their work successfully. Steam offers the opportunity for indie devs to reach a much larger audience, and REPO has proven to be the latest title to get this kind of attention. The monsters of REPO bring plenty of scary moments, but the game is a fun time for a number of reasons.
FNAF Fans Shouldn't Sleep on Order 13
New psychological horror game Order 13 has scares, a cute cat, and gameplay that Five Nights at Freddy's fans can resonate with.
REPO Combines Horror and Physics For a Fun-Filled Time
Physics-Based Horror
Just as the game's Steam page says, physics-based mechanics are one of the central features of REPO. The main objective of the game is to extract valuable items, but this is far easier said than done. The grappling tools featured in REPO are tricky to maneuver, which makes for some hilarious moments when playing with friends. It also adds tension, as having to use these controls while anticipating a monster around every corner can quickly make someone's palms grow sweaty. REPO's weapons and items are important tools for succeeding in the game, but the physics-focused gameplay presents an incredibly fun obstacle for players to work through.
The title REPO stands for the Retrieve, Extract, and Profit Operation.
REPO Requires True Teamwork
- In REPO, communicating with other players is a must.
For gamers looking for a truly collaborative experience, REPO may be the perfect game to jump into. It's a good time to be a co-op fan right now in general. Split Fiction has hit the scene, but those who have finished Hazelight Studios' newest adventure may be on the lookout for more team-driven titles. If that's the case, then REPO may be the right game to scratch the collaborative multiplayer itch.
The sensitive physics of the game makes communicating with one another truly important, which can lead to some hilariously frustrating mistakes and slip-ups. One of the reasons REPO has become viral is through platforms like TikTok and Twitch because of the hilarity it causes. Whether it be capturing in-game footage or a live-stream, REPO's combination of horror and tricky controls fills the game with surprises.
As of now, REPO has amassed over 22,000 reviews on Steam and is currently sitting with an "Overwhelmingly Positive" status.

REPO's Goofier Approach is Charming
It's not surprising that REPO is being compared so heavily to Lethal Company. While the two share similarities, the mechanics and the overall tone are quite different. Granted, Lethal Company is goofy in its own right, but REPO takes that to the next level. The game is unapologetically goofy, and it could be the perfect co-op horror game for those who are looking for only light scares. From the hilarious character design to the clumsiness the mechanics push players into, REPO is more about the co-op experience than the overall scares.
Steam holds a treasure trove of strong indie offerings, and there are no signs of that slowing down. The platform has continued to be a great place to find surprisingly fun titles, and REPO is definitely a worthy addition to the list. Its longevity remains unclear, but as of now, REPO is bound to be a great time for gamers who are looking for a fresh co-op adventure.
