Critic Reviews for Lynked: Banner of the Spark

Lynked: Banner of the Spark is a hot chocolate of a game. Sweet, sumptuous and oh, so cosy. It offers an intriguing and fresh experience thanks to combining roguelite dungeon crawling with town-building, and it keeps you engaged from beginning to end. It's just a shame that, on PS5 at least, it's a resolutely single-player experience rather than the multiplayer one that it's intended to be.

All in all, Lynked: Banner of the Spark is a fun idea with a cute aesthetic and an addicting gameplay loop. Unfortunately, its implementation of Online Mode is incredibly frustrating.

Lynked: Banner of the Spark doesn’t reinvent the roguelite genre; it just reinvigorates it.

Lynked: Banner of the Spark is a great game for fans of dungeon crawlers and roguelikes.  The combat can be a little tricky to get the hang of as you'll have to learn how to time your attacks and dodge when necessary to avoid taking huge chunks of damage.  The town building aspects provide a lot of ways to customize your home base between missions and show them off to your friends in co-op.  If you're looking for a dungeon crawler where you can customize your town between missions, Lynked: Banner of the Spark is well worth the price.

Lynked: Banner of the Spark from developer FuzzyBot is a cornucopia of different types of gameplay experiences rolled into one title and balanced in ways that work well together. The story is good, the action is easy and fun, and the crafting/building helps to bring a juxtaposition to the game’s action component. While not all of it works, the game still brings what it needs to create a big, unique, and entertaining experience.
