Action Roguelite Lort Brings Fantasy Chaos and Eight Player Co Op to Early Access
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Lort is a new fantasy action roguelite with eight-player co-op and wild weapon variety, now available in early access.
Sometimes a game title just demands your attention, and Big Distraction has definitely grabbed ours with Lort, a brand new action roguelite that has just landed in early access. While the name leans heavily into internet absurdity, the actual gameplay looks like a genuinely fun time for anyone who loves the frantic pacing of Risk of Rain 2. Instead of sci fi landscapes, Lort drops players into a chaotic fantasy setting where you face relentless waves of enemies using an eclectic mix of gear.
The weapon variety is where things get delightfully unhinged. You are not just swinging standard medieval swords here, because the arsenal ranges from bizarre magical staves to a literal collection of three guns taped to a stick. As you progress, you stack various powerups to build overpowered loadouts, which is essential for surviving the chaos. While you can brave the onslaught solo, the real appeal here is the massive eight player co op support, making this an ideal pick for large Discord groups looking for their next game night obsession.
Developer Big Distraction has launched the game with a full beginning to end playable experience, and the early access roadmap includes new biomes, an endless mode, and fresh adventurers like a frog warrior class. Despite some internet humor in the dialogue that feels a bit dated, the core mechanics offer plenty of promise. You can check out the original coverage over at Rock Paper Shotgun to see the trailer and grab it on Steam.
