REPO is making a big change to Overcharge "that makes the game harder every 10th level" and it won't just be "a gimmick for no reason"

I've heard of chargebacks but this is ridiculous!

REPO is 2025's biggest surprise hit so far, in terms of something that's gone from obscurity to superstar status overnight bringing in a staggering amount of reviews. The co-op horror game where you play as funny little robots moving furniture received its first update in the beta branch last week, but the game's developer has decided to make some changes to the new Overcharge mechanic based on player feedback.

Overcharge is a mechanic that was introduced to combat the somewhat overpowered option of just picking the monsters up and flinging them across the room. Holding any of the REPO monsters will then cause your little robot to explode after a while, because why not.
