Team-up, brawl and build in this co-op action game that blends hack and slash combat with roguelite-inspired missions and town-building progression that goes beyond the run!

Unlock and upgrade gear, rescue robot allies, and lead the resistance against the world-dominating Combots!

In the year 30XX, humanity is on the verge of extinction. As one of the last survivors, you must form alliances with the robot resistance to defend against the world-dominating Combots. Rescue robot allies, explore their stories, and uncover the fate of the legendary group of bots known as the Banner of the Spark.

In Lynked: Banner Of The Spark you are tasked to lead the fight against the Combots—lethal machines intent on destroying the natural world. Engage in electrifying co-op missions with non-stop hack and slash combat and roguelite progression. Expand your town to unlock and upgrade weapons and abilities between runs, recruit new robotic allies, and build a resistance strong enough to reclaim the future.

Developer FuzzyBot and publisher Dreamhaven announced that Lynked: Banner of the Spark is now available via Steam Early Access.

 In celebration of the Early Access launch, the game will be available for 10% off the normal retail price of $24.99 until October 29.

“When we started FuzzyBot in 2020, we were nervous but also thrilled to create something of our own,” said Max Spielberg, FuzzyBot cofounder and game director. “We wanted to build something filled with optimism and joy, and we hope Lynked is able to carry that message forward. We hope players enjoy what we built here; it’s a big game with a whole lot of heart.”

“The FuzzyBot team is a talented, creative bunch with a ton of experience, and that shows through completely in Lynked,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Dreamhaven. “They've created something filled with personality and surprises, and they're very in tune with what players are looking for. We're proud to be working with them and excited for everyone to get their hands on the game.”

The Early Access release of Lynked: Banner of the Spark features 24 campaign missions—the first four chapters of the game—along with repeatable side missions and a ton of gear, upgrades, special abilities, town-customization options, and more. Players who purchase Lynked and reach the town after completing the tutorial, anytime during the Early Access period, will receive a special set of thank-you rewards—the Lobster Claw livery, Dragon Goodbot, and Buddy Bean Bag Chair—to deck out their characters and spruce up their towns.

In addition, from now through November 5, players can unlock even more in-game cosmetics through Twitch Drops. All they have to do is link their Twitch and Steam accounts and watch their favorite streamers play the game live.
