About the Game
Protect your team by forcing enemies to attack you in this single-player action roguelite inspired by MMO raids. Create unique builds, unlock powerful talents and master the art of tanking to command the chaos!
Damage your enemies to hold their attention! Or force them to attack you by running away!
Don't Lose Aggro lets you play any kind of tank you can think of, focusing on control, strategy and positioning.
You have the assignment of protecting your group from harm!
Companions, while alive, provide powerful abilities that can be upgraded, which are key for a successful run.
Don't Lose Aggro allows you to choose whether to protect your companions or go full hard-core and sacrifice them!
Use your abilities to utilize the tank you aim to become. Charge can close a gap between you and the enemy but if you're the slower type, you can always pull them towards you!
Some abilities are aggressive and focus on damage, whilst others focus on protection and healing.
Upgrade your lasting tanking builds by spending talent points to suit your preferred playstyle. Play as a Dodger, Blocker, Kiter, or Taunter - each with distinct mechanics and upgrade paths.
Battle through the lava-surrounded Isle of Doom, survive the Cyclone Sands' sandstorms, and face the final challenge in "The Fallen City."
As you progress, you'll unlock new arenas and fight new enemies & bosses to prove your tanking skills!

Hi Tanks!
Watching you play the demo I realize it was taking a bit too long to unlock those tier 2 talents preciously needed to pass tanking 201.
I also saw some frustration when the offensive ability (whirlwind/retribution) wasn't in the cards for the first few levels, so:
Lowered exp required to unlock talent points, you should be getting 6 points now after your first clear!
Crusader now starts with Whirlwind by default
Disc now starts with Retribution by default
Slightly buffed Whirlwind - increased radius by 20% and damage by 10
Let me know if this streamlines the progression!
Hi Tanks!
More nerfs to Tanking 101, added tab targeting support
mobs amount reduced by half
exp gained per mob is therefore doubled
Tanking 201 will also see a 50% exp bonus per mob killed.
Traditional targeting system is available for keyboard & mouse users, under settings -> gameplay. left click to target, hold right click to rotate, use tab to cycle targets!
Come join the discord, its fun!
Hi Tanks!
I'm taking a crack at improving the targeting system, it should be easier to target enemies you're running towards now, let me know if its an improvement!
Additionally:
New Upgrade: Shield Throw prioritizes enemeis without aggro.
New Upgrade: Dodges increase the next whirlwind damage, stacking effect.
Fixes/Tweaks:
Buffed the underwhelming Healer upgrades at level 10
Healer health will now flash when she gets healed for more clarity and battlefield awareness
Buffed Shield Throw's search radius
Dodge combat text is white to contrast from all the damage going on
See you in the Discord!
