Repo Man

The man that everyone fears just got a lot scarier. Repo Man is here, and he's going to take back all the debts you owe in one way or another. This new title will put you in the shoes of said Repo Man, and you're going to use craftiness, violence, skill, and wit to make sure you collect the debts to courts have ordered you to gather.

Making overzealous games based on trivial aspects of life is nothing new. It would seem that we're not tired of them yet, though. Repo Man looks fascinating, translating the struggles of debt collection and setting an epic scene behind them. It seems like Repo Man is bringing a new angle to this undesirable job. Let's look further into what we've seen thus far.

God is a Repo Man

If you didn't know any better, you'd think that Repo Man is a crime-ridden, heist-themed, beat-em-up. In fairness, it's not farfetched that this could be the end result. However, the game's narrative centers around the player as a Repo Man who's basically the right man for the job. He has no empathy and no quarrel by using every means possible to collect debts.

Players will take on the first-person view bursting into people's homes and taking everything of value to match their debt. Be assured that some of these debtors won't be happy, though. They'll openly fight you, challenging you to fisticuff where you'll need to show whose boss. The repossession jobs aren't limited to homes either - you'll traverse offices, hospitals, and factories to claim your debts.

What's pretty fantastic on first impression is how Repo Man comes across as a fully-fledged development effort. A fundamental concept is turned into an immersive, high-octane experience with wonderfully crafted, real-life visuals paired with mechanics that make gameplay exciting and challenging.

The full spectrum of the game's action is not on display yet. However, the trailers, screenshots, and descriptions look as if Repo Man will offer a versatile palette of gameplay. Who knew the Repo business could be such a thrilling adventure? The game already feels like it's going to deliver.

No One is Saved

Repo Man seems like a life simulator on steroids. The impressions of gameplay lead on like there will be absolutely no chill in this game. Much like a Hollywood action movie, it's going to be all thrills to the very end. It's overzealous, kind of silly, yet wholly immersive - and we love it!
