"We kept waiting for another Risk of Rain 2. It never came:" New roguelike hits Steam with 2-8 player co-op, a roadmap locked and loaded, and tons of internet humor

Three fantasy characters stand and face each other in the woods, while one green-wearing man flexes his biceps in a screenshot from LORT.

Risk of Rain 2's unique mix of third-person co-op action and a cyclical roguelike structure hasn't really been matched or even challenged all that much in the years since its launch, so one indie team is having a go with its newly-released fantasy twist.

"We kept waiting for another Risk of Rain 2. It never came. So we quit AAA and made LORT," developer Big Distraction wrote on social media to celebrate the early access release of LORT, a game that looks very much like Gearbox Software's roguelike, except there's magic and goblins and a giant crow riding a van in this one! (And guns, don't worry.)
