Lynked: Banner of the Spark is an action-RPG where hack-and-slash combat meets heartfelt community rebuilding. Whether you’re slicing through waves of corrupted Combots or rebuilding a town of friendly Unibots, your every move helps restore a broken world.

Starting today, Lynked 1.0 is officially live and on sale for 20% off starting today through 5/28. After a powerful early access journey, the full version is here, and it’s packed with new missions, new content, and new possibilities based on how you want to play!

At its core, Lynked is a genre-blending game that weaves together the intensity of fast-paced action combat with cozy town building. Think chaotic sword-swinging meets futuristic farmstead, all wrapped in a story of hope, connection, and rebuilding alongside some helpful and handy robots.

Every mission strengthens your bond with the world around you. Playing solo or with friends, the deeper you go, the more you’ll discover this isn’t just a fight to survive. It’s a chance to fortify the resistance and rebuild.

A Genre Mashup We Call Rogue-Life
Lynked fuses quick, hack-and-slash combat with community sim mechanics, allowing you to battle your way through dangerous biomes while also cultivating a home base for you to customize and level up. Defeating enemies fuels town upgrades, and supporting your town boosts your power in combat. It’s a loop of giving and growing.

Wyre Combat System
The Wyre is a grapple mechanic that redefines how you move and fight. Use it to grab enemies, launch yourself into battle, or chain devastating combos with speed and style. Combat becomes a fluid, kinetic dance where creativity wins.

It will also support you in town as you come across the sneaky Bittibots or flyfish for Gillibots. Your Wyre is just as important as your weapon when it comes to collecting valuable resources to level up your character.

Upgrades + Perma Progression
Every mission brings randomized gear, abilities, and combat modifiers. No two missions are the same, but your long-term progression sticks. From weapon loadouts to Unibot relationships and town development, you’re always building something that lasts.

A Band of Unibots
Lynked is about togetherness. You can play solo or with friends, but you’ll never be alone. As you explore, you’ll rescue and recruit a quirky cast of Unibots, each one with their own personalities, dialogue, and gameplay perks. From farming and crafting to combat support, these lovable bots are your partners in (re)creation.

Build More Than a Base
Between battles, unwind with cozy gameplay loops that deepen your bond with the world. Grow crops, cook meals, upgrade facilities, and decorate your hub. Every act of care brings life back to your surroundings and to the characters who call it home.

Lynked isn’t just about restoring buildings. It’s about fighting for a future… and growing one, too.

For returning early access players, Version 1.0 brings a host of updates:

• New biomes to explore
  
• Expanded town-building systems
  
• New Unibots and mission types
  
• Performance improvements and polish

And most importantly: full console support on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Check out our patch notes for more detailed information about what’s in the 1.0 patch, and join our Lynked Community Discord server[lynked.gg] to connect with other buddies and strengthen the resistance!
