Los Angeles-based studio FuzzyBot has announced its debut game Lynked: Banner of the Spark, an arcade-inspired cooperative action game with roguelite and town-building elements, launching in Early Access for PC via Steam on October 22 for $24.99.
Here is an overview of the game, via FuzzyBot:
About
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.
Key Features
- Brawl – Fight your way through missions of high-energy hack and slash action, gaining an edge on enemies with mid-run upgrades and a robust permanent progression system.
- Build – Complete missions, collect materials, and enlist the help of robot allies to build a town that is perfect for you. Take advantage of in-town systems like fishing and farming to gather resources that can be used to upgrade weapons, combat powers, and techniques.
- Befriend – Build a community of robot allies who can assist you in expanding your town and enhancing your combat abilities. Explore their stories, unlock new features, and uncover the fate of the legendary band of bots known as the Banner of the Spark.
- Do It Together – Join forces with friends and fight the Combot threat together with up to three players (including yourself) in combat runs and six total players in town through online play. Cooperate on tough missions and boss battles, trade resources, or relax while building, decorating, and participating in town activities together.
