About This Game
Quick Overview
LORT is a co-op action roguelite where 1 to 8 players fight through a cursed fantasy world, collect loot, stack wild power-ups, and try to survive increasingly chaotic runs. It is developed and published by Big Distraction and launched in Early Access on January 21, 2026.
The game feels like a fantasy co-op survival run where every match can become ridiculous fast. You can use swords, bows, wands, and even guns, then build your character with power-ups that slowly turn you from weak adventurer into an overpowered monster. The main fun comes from building broken combinations, reviving friends, fighting weird bosses, and laughing when everything goes wrong.
Who Should Play This Game?
You should play LORT if you enjoy co-op roguelikes, chaotic PvE action, loot-based progression, and games that become more fun when played with friends. It is especially good for players who like the idea of Risk of Rain 2, but want a more goofy fantasy version with goblins, magic, weapons, bosses, and absurd upgrades.
It is also a good pick if you like games where each run teaches you something. You are expected to die, learn enemy patterns, improve your build, and come back stronger. PC Gamer reported that the developers adjusted some early difficulty after player feedback, but still want the game to stay challenging.
You may not enjoy it if you want a polished finished game right now, because it is still in Early Access. Steam also notes that Early Access games may continue changing during development, so the balance, content, and features can shift over time.
Performance on PC
LORT is not huge in storage size, needing only 4 GB, but its recommended specs are higher than you might expect for a small roguelite. The minimum requirements list Windows 10, 8 GB RAM, an Intel i5-9400F / Ryzen 5 4600, and a GTX 1060 / RX 580 for low settings at 30 FPS.
For higher settings and smoother 60+ FPS gameplay, Steam recommends Windows 11, 16 GB RAM, an Intel i7-11700F / Ryzen 7 5800X, and a GPU around RTX 3070 / RTX 4070 / RX 7900.
Because the game can fill the screen with enemies, effects, bosses, and co-op chaos, stable FPS matters more than max visuals. If it feels heavy, lower shadows, effects, and post-processing first so combat stays responsive during busy fights.
