-
Jan 5, 2014In order to fully appreciate Republique you have to perform a sort of leap of faith: you have to forgive the AI and try not to focus on the sometime clumsy controls because the story is intriguing and it would be a shame let slip one of the most interesting game on mobile's platform.

Jan 2, 2014With stealth based gameplay, a slight air of an escort mission, and touch controls all looking to trip them up, they come out almost unscathed. If nothing else, that alone should be seen as a victory.

games(TM)Feb 12, 2014This is indie done right; a title that makes the most of its limited resources to create something unique and engaging. [Issue#144, p.104]
-
Dec 20, 2013The game has the solid framework of a serviceable stealth title, but the story and cast haven't sold me yet that this will be a tale worth telling. I'll be waiting with bated breath to see if episode two is an improvement.

-
Feb 5, 2014If you’re interested in Republique purely as a tech demo, its smooth animations, realistic models, and excellent touch-controls would have you raving.

-
Dec 20, 2013The game shows conceptual promise – you unlock some mild security manipulation powers that will hopefully be pushed further in future episodes – but conceptual promise isn’t worth much until it has been delivered upon.
