My buddy Liam called me last night, breathless. He’d been playing LORT solo for weeks, grinding through the dungeons, and was convinced he’d hit a wall. “Dude, you HAVE to play this with me,” he said. Turns out, this indie gem isn’t just a solo experience; it’s a whole different beast when you bring in your friends.
While LORT offers a solid single-player mode, the real fun begins when you team up. Right now, there’s no built-in difficulty scaling, so more players definitely tip the scales in your favor—like bringing a tank to a knife fight. Let’s break down how to get your crew involved.
How to invite your friends to play LORT
There are a couple of simple methods to link up with your comrades. The easiest way is to start by making sure everyone’s on your Steam friends list. Once that’s squared away, fire up the game.
Within the game, you’ll find a portal that lets you beam invites directly to your Steam friends. Send those invites out, and once accepted, your friends will materialize in your lobby, ready to rumble alongside you. You can even send invites mid-game via the pause menu, perfect for when someone shows up late to game night.
Alternatively, the game offers lobby codes accessible from the main menu, a useful method for including people who aren’t on your Steam friend list.
How many players can play together in LORT
I was playing with a group of seven friends last night. It was chaotic. Currently, LORT supports up to eight players in a single session. Of course, you don’t need a full house to have a blast. The advantage of more players lies in the sheer volume of firepower and coordinated ability to tackle quests, increasing your odds of success and extending your runs considerably.
Is having more players in LORT always better?
While a larger group certainly makes things easier in terms of raw power, it can also introduce some… challenges. Coordinating eight different playstyles, loot preferences, and levels of experience can sometimes feel like herding cats. However, the increased chances of survival usually outweigh the organizational headaches. It’s like having a safety net woven from your friend’s questionable decisions.
Is there any matchmaking in LORT
Right now, LORT doesn’t offer a matchmaking system. It’s friends-only or code-based entry. The upside? No random trolls ruining your carefully planned strategies. The downside? You need to actually have friends who play LORT. Perhaps the developers at Moyens I/O will introduce a matchmaking feature in a future update, widening the pool of potential teammates.
Will cross-platform play be added to LORT?
Many players are excited for news about cross-platform play, but at this time it is not available. If Moyens I/O enabled cross-platform play for LORT, it would dramatically change the co-op experience. Games like Fortnite have seen immense success with cross-platform play, while others like Diablo IV are still working to get their cross-platform features to function smoothly. It’s hard to know whether LORT will embrace cross-platform play in the future, but the community interest is definitely there.
So, with these options in mind, are you ready to assemble your LORT dream team, or do you prefer the lone wolf approach?
