As part of Gamescom’s , Fuzzybot has announced their debut game, Lynked: Banner of the Spark, a roguelite with el༒ements of… everything. It’s entering Early Access on Oct𒁃ober 22, 2024.
When I say “everything,” I mean Lynked: Banner of the Spark introduces itself as an “arcade-inspired co-op roguelite” with town-building progression. I mean, sure, that makes sense. Town-building is a decent metagame between roguelite runs. That’s essentially what Cult of the Lamb is. However, Lynked is looking to lean more in a cozy direction, but really, I think Cult of the Lamb is plenty cozy.
Lynked has enough to separate it from Cult of the Lamb. For one thing, Lynked: Banner of the Spark seems to have your character fisting a robot that turns into a Mega Man’s buster. The combat i🐷s a bit hard to grasp in motion, but there’s a lot of grappling shown off and numbers popping out of enemies.
Beyond just town-building, there’s interior decoration. I have to wonder to what end, but the trailer demonstrates fishing at the end, so maybe this is more like Animal Crossing but with more robot battles.
The aesthetic s♈eems to cop a late-’80s, early-’90s approach to the future. There’s a lot of neon colors and a hoverboard thrown in for good measure. You can also play with friends if you have any.
Lynked: Banner of the Spark will hit Steam Early Access on October 22, 2024.
