Stealth Action Game RÃ©publique Quietly Infiltrates The Play Store

Games with a compelling story and good voice acting are few and far between on mobile devices, but RÃ©publique appears to be one of them. After getting funded on Kickstarter a few years ago, this game is finally available on Android. It was previously on iOS, where it’s gotten positive reviews.

This stealth action game follows the exploits of Hope, a young girl trapped in a bizarre cult operating as its own nation. You don’t actually play as Hope, but as a person who’s trying to help her escape by hacking into the surveillance and computer systems of RÃ©publique. You can jump from one camera to the next, access personnel files, and control security systems. When the coast is clear, you tap to send Hope to a different location in the game’s immersive 3D environment.

RÃ©publique is a big download at nearly 1GB, but the visuals make good use of all that data. The animations and character models are great for a mobile game, and the faces of characters actually display some emotion. There are a few hours of gameplay in the first episode of RÃ©publique, which is what you get for the $2.99 intro price.

The in-app purchases are for additional chapters of the story, so it’s a little like The Walking Dead in that respect. Only the first three chapters are available so far, but you can pre-purchase all five for $14.99. I haven’t played a ton of RÃ©publique yet, but what I’ve seen so far is impressive.
