What is Lynked: Banner of the Spark?

In this action roguelite and life sim, you rescue robot companions after hostile robots overrun the natural world in the year 30XX. You fight through hack-and-slash missions solo or in co-op, gain randomized upgrades during runs, and use resources to build a town, farm, fish, and craft between missions.

For you if...

+you like alternating combat runs with town building
+you enjoy fishing, farming, and decorating between missions
+you want to fight robots alongside friends

Not for you if...

−you want combat runs with major build changes
−you dislike repeating missions to earn town upgrades
−you want combat without gathering or crafting

What players say

77% of 465 reviews are positive · 60% of 10 in the last 30 days

Players praise the robot characters, town customization, and mix of combat with farming and fishing. They complain about repetitive missions, slow progression, and upgrades that do little to change combat; some also raise privacy concerns about the in-game EULA. Some players report co-op connection failures, though a later reviewer says it is working.
