Lynked: Banner of the Spark is an arcade-inspired co-op action game where playing together goes beyond the run.

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.


Currently available through Steam Early Access, Developer FuzzyBot and publisher Dreamhaven announced that Lynked: Banner of the Spark is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) on May 22, 2025, adding five chapters for a total of 40 new missions, five new bosses, The VoidSpyre biome, and more.

Lynked version 1.0 adds chapters five through nine, taking players through the game’s main storyline and epilogue. Each chapter brings more bots to rescue, ways to upgrade the town, and action-packed missions to embark upon. 

Players can look forward to the following new content in version 1.0 on PC and consoles:

  • Five new chapters with forty total missions that progress the main campaign, including a “Banner of the Spark” storyline where players will uncover the fate of the legendary band of bots and earn ten special themed rewards. 
  • Introducing a new biome, The VoidSpyre. Take on the Combot’s fortress with 18 VoidSpyre enemies, five new bosses, and procedurally generated maps, so no two missions are the same. Head back to town after the fight and catch VoidSpyre gillibots that have been added to the bot-o-pedia. 
  • Craft and collect new weapon mods, skins, and the sludge weapon core to enhance the fighting experience. 

“Since day one, our goal with Lynked was to create a colorful action RPG that blends heartwarming town-building with high-energy action, and player feedback has been instrumental in shaping that vision,” said Max Spielberg, Co-Founder of FuzzyBot and Creative Director of Lynked: Banner of the Spark. “Version 1.0 is the culmination of that journey, bringing new challenges, tools, and surprises for both longtime players and newcomers alike.” 

Version 1.0 also includes the “Buddy Up!” update. Buddy Up! introduces Chef Brot, a culinary mastermind for bots and organics alike. Players build Chef’s kitchen to craft up to 100 new delicious meals for Unibot residents and boost battle ranks through the power of cooking. Additionally, Buddy Up! lets players… well, buddy up! Choose from over 100 resident Unibots to join you in battle, selecting up to two companions in single-player and one in multiplayer.

Key Features:

  • A WORLD OVERRUN, A FUTURE TO REBUILD: It’s the year 30XX, and the natural world has been overrun by an evil robot force… but all is not lost. As you rescue and join forces with a charming band of robot companions called the Unibots, you’ll form a community of fearless friends and work together to build a new future. 
  • A ROGUE-LIFE RPG: Lynked: Banner of the Spark fuses the action-packed fun of a roguelite with the rich progression and charm of a life sim. In this vibrant rogue-life RPG, combat and customization go hand in hand: put your skills to the test against swarms of robot foes and tough-as-nails bosses, then use their parts and other resources to expand and upgrade your home base. Whether you’re a homebody or a hardened warrior, there are endless ways to pitch in–it’ll take a village to save the world! 
  • LYNK UP IN CO-OP OR SOLO: Tackle hack-and-slash missions solo or with up to three players… just remember that Unibot pals want in, too! Recruit and power up these allies as battle companions, each with unique abilities, fighting styles, and devastating combo attacks to send your foes to the scrap pile! 
  • WEAPONS AND THE WYRE: Use the Wyre to kick bolts! This versatile grappling tool lets you execute flashy combos, hurl enemies into hazards, and zip across the battlefield. Master 10 weapon classes with over 80 variations, take advantage of deep progression systems, and adapt on the fly with randomized mid-mission upgrades, ensuring no two runs ever play the same. 
  • BUILD A THRIVING TOWN: Work alongside Unibots and up to five friends to catch fish, collect critters, harvest crops, and craft items to make your home uniquely yours! Use the resources you collect to upgrade your character with special powers and techniques to take to your next fight. 

Lynked: Banner Of The Spark is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) on May 22,  2025 at $24.99.
