Kannagi Anna Reaches Level 5 in R.E.P.O. on a Short-Notice Stream After Its Update

REACT — Kannagi Anna of ReAcT (aaArtists) took the newly updated R.E.P.O. for a spin on Monday in a stream she announced on short notice, and by the end of about an hour and a half she had reached level 5.

She opened by saying she could only play for around an hour because of work waiting for her, and treated the session as a quick test of how far she could get. The update had changed a lot, she said, and from the first run she kept stopping at things she did not recognize: new enemies, new rooms and new items in the shop.

“Why are games so much fun? Well, it’s a game because it’s fun.” — Kannagi Anna, while exploring the new map

One of the additions she tried early was a stacking bonus. Building a tower of valuables above a certain height earns extra money, and she spent a good part of the first levels balancing treasure on top of treasure, with mixed results. Along the way she noticed prices on some items had dropped, and she was chased more than once while carrying loot back. She went through the early levels without a weapon before finally picking one up and calling it the most important find of the night.

Later she moved on to the new map, which she had wanted to try, and explored it with obvious curiosity: mazelike corridors, a shower and toilet, a golden shovel, a banjo and a bouncy toy. She completed a run through it for the first time and said she was delighted. Viewers in chat cheered the clear and sent encouragement when she said she had to get back to work.

Before signing off she said she had a lesson the next day and would be off, then ran through her schedule, including a daytime singing stream on the 4th. She said she wanted to play more games from this week on, and hopes to get back to Apex and to streaming on Twitch eventually.
