Always wanted to tank a raid without begging for heals or scheduling your life around a guild? You’re in luck. Solo developer Oren Koren has just dropped the demo for Don’t Lose Aggro, a tactical, single-player roguelite built around classic MMO tanking mechanics, minus the group stress.
Now live on Steam, the demo lets players dive into the chaos of managing aggro, positioning enemies, and juggling cooldowns like a true dungeon-diving pro, all without needing to convince five mates to log on.
A love letter to MMO tanks
You take on the role of a lone tank tasked with protecting your AI party through increasingly tough encounters. Whether you’re dragging mobs with a hook, blocking heavy blows, or pulling aggro with well-timed taunts, the game taps into the thrill of being the backbone of a group, only now, you’re calling all the shots.
Don’t Lose Aggro features four distinct tank archetypes to explore:
- The Dodger, built around mobility and agility.
- The Blocker, your reliable damage sponge.
- The Kiter, controlling space and pace.
- The Taunter, who commands the battlefield with presence alone.
Each run feeds into a broader roguelite progression system, unlocking upgrades and talents to match your preferred playstyle. It’s smart, it’s strategic, and most importantly, it respects your time.
From raid wipes to roguelite wins
Created by a lifelong MMO fan, Don’t Lose Aggro channels the chaos of a 40-man raid into something tighter, punchier, and way more accessible. No toxic lobbies. No waiting in queues. Just you, your build, and a battlefield full of problems to solve.
The Don’t Lose Aggro demo is available now on Steam. The full game is due out on PC soon. Check out the demo page here and stay tuned for our hands-on impressions.
