Unique Insurance-Based Gameplay
R.E.P.O introduces a never-before-seen system where insurance and claim mechanics deeply affect combat, gear, and risk management.
Deep Tactical Combat
Missions require planning, stealth, and real-time tactics, making every encounter intense and rewarding.
Strong World-Building & Lore
The dystopian corporate universe is immersive, with detailed factions, satirical storytelling, and moral dilemmas.
Replayability Through Ethics Paths
Player decisions affect relationships, contracts, and endings—making multiple playthroughs worthwhile.
Brilliant Satire and Social Commentary
The dark humor and critique of modern bureaucracy, debt culture, and insurance red tape elevate the experience beyond a typical shooter.

Steep Learning Curve
The complexity of systems like insurance, claims, and contract reading can overwhelm casual players.
Punishing Consequences for Mistakes
Forget to insure your gear? Lose everything. Misfile a claim? Get penalized. Some players may find it unforgiving.
Slow Early Progression
Early missions can feel grindy as you build funds and reputation, with limited gear and abilities.
UI/UX Can Be Overwhelming
Menus for insurance policies, claims, and faction standings can feel cluttered or unintuitive at times.
Niche Appeal
The satire and heavy themes may not resonate with players looking for fast-paced, casual action games.
