Sure, roguelite games can be grim and dark and full of death and misery. Or they can be colorful and actively goofy, such as LORT, an upcoming multiplayer action roguelite from indie studio Big Distraction.
“In LORT, players will dive headfirst into a land where chaos reigns and goblins beware,” the team says. “Whether flying solo or teaming up with up to seven friends, players will stack absurd power-ups, revive fallen allies, and evolve from humble goblin ticklers to fully chadded god slappers in a quest to break free from a world that desperately wants them dead.”
The game’s “chaotic PvE” bent is evident all throughout its description, with power-ups to find like the Cool Comfy Shorts or Trophy of Swole, weapons that range from swords to hammers to pistols that can be quickly swapped back and forth, and the ability to customize runs by way of the Stew of Power, which is where enemy types and other modifiers can be applied.
LORT is promising a Steam release sometime in the fourth quarter of this year. In the meantime, the game can be wishlisted now and a trailer showing off the quirkiness in action awaits below.
