Overcharge Overhaul

REPO recently launched an open beta for their upcoming update, gathering crucial feedback from fans. One key feature that caught the attention of developer Semiwork was the game's Overcharge mechanic.

Overcharge empowers players to counter enemies by lifting and hurling them onto hard surfaces or away from their team. However, this action isn't without limits; an overcharge meter fills up, and if it reaches its peak, the player will explode.

Originally, the Overcharge mechanic was available from the game's outset, but the developers have decided to unlock it at level 10. Additionally, they plan to introduce new mechanics that increase difficulty every 10 levels (at levels 20, 30, and so on), with Overcharge marking the beginning of these challenges.

These new mechanics will be intricately linked to the game's lore. As Semiwork explained, "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."
