Semiwork has announced that REPO will never be free-to-play, a promise meant to avoid ever featuring microtransactions within the game. As it stands, everything you need to play, even including personalisable flourishes like customising the color of your robot, is standard-issue or unlockable with in-game currency.
In a recent Q&A uploaded to YouTube, semiwork explained that "No, there are no plans to make the game free-to-play, as we don't want to add microtransactions or have cosmetics that you buy with real money." Semiwork continued to state that "Things like cosmetics you will get for free by just simply playing the game, after buying the game initially of course."
