Evaluation

REPLIKATOR launched into Early Access and reached its 1.0 full release on May 11, 2022. At launch, the developer stated plans to continue releasing updates including bug fixes, balance improvements, and possibly new content. True to that promise, two post-launch updates followed: a new Arena game mode on August 20, 2022, and a difficulty selection system on September 12, 2022. The August 20 post is the most significant for understanding the game's trajectory — the developer explicitly stated they had begun working on a new game (Iron Dungeon) while noting they still planned to release updates for REPLIKATOR. However, no further updates for REPLIKATOR have been posted after September 2022. Since then, the developer's activity has been entirely focused on other projects: Iron Dungeon, the Murder Is Game Over series, Zero Protocol, and most recently Waterpunk: Through the Rust (demo released January 29, 2026). No roadmap, announced DLC, or future content commitments exist for REPLIKATOR, and the developer has not communicated any plans to return to it. The game has no DLC listings. Given that the last developer communication about REPLIKATOR was in September 2022, and the developer has since moved on to multiple other titles without revisiting this game, it is reasonable to treat REPLIKATOR as a completed product. The last substantive content addition — the Arena mode — shipped on August 20, 2022.

About this game


REPLIKATOR is a top-down shooter with roguelike elements, set in an abandoned space science complex.
In the role of one of the mercenaries, you will have to fight against hordes of crazed robots and ectoplasmic monsters, while your boss calmly drinks beer in a safe compartment nearby.


  • Dynamic battles. You will have to constantly move and aim well to survive!
  • Danger at every turn. Many different enemies and traps will not let you get bored.
  • Dozens of upgrade items. Explore stations looking for new upgrades for your character.
  • Meta progression. In this game, each death will only make you stronger, because after death you will be able to buy permanent improvements for your character and the hub ship.
  • Procedural generation! The location of rooms, enemies and traps, as well as weapons and all items are generated procedurally.
  • Space raccoon! and three more playable characters. All of them differ in starting characteristics, preferred weapons and special techniques.
  • Intriguing story. Explore the abandoned science complex and find out what happened here!
