Don't Lose Aggro

Don't Lose Aggro launched into Early Access on April 15, 2026, developed solo by Oren Koren. The developer has maintained a consistent and transparent communication cadence since launch, publishing monthly devlogs and regular patch notes. Two weeks after launch, a detailed three-phase development roadmap was posted on April 29, 2026: Phase 1 targets an Endless Mode, a Summoner companion, and new shields/abilities/enemies; Phase 2 covers increased party size, a shield progression system, consumables, and more; Phase 3 adds loot and gear, player customization, companion progression, and leaderboards. The May 15, 2026 devlog showed active design work on the Summoner companion and new enemy races — concrete early-stage progress toward Phase 1. The June 21, 2026 devlog confirmed work on increased party size (now expanding from 2 to 3 companions), a new dungeon, new shields, and new abilities — spanning both Phase 1 and Phase 2 roadmap items simultaneously. Most recently, on July 23, 2026, the developer announced that the first major Early Access update is ready for public playtesting beginning August 22, 2026, and listed a substantial set of new features: increased party size, a new Summoner companion, a target-marking system, a new tutorial, new shields, a new ability (Blood Strike), new status effects, and a UI overhaul. This update alone delivers on multiple roadmap commitments across Phase 1 and Phase 2. The developer is actively building toward a 1.0 release, with Phases 2 and 3 still entirely ahead, including major systems like loot/gear and player customization that have not yet entered development publicly.
