Today we’re releasing a new hotfix patch that addresses many of the issues identified in the 1.0 build. Check out the full details below:Highest Priority FixesSave Game Issues & Progression Reset Improved save conflict and reconciliation screens. Fixed a bug where cleaning and relaunching save files could trigger unintended reconciliation prompts. Swapping between Steam accounts on the same machine no longer resets player progression. Content Unlock Fixed an issue where the Voidspyre Skill Check expedition unlocked prematurely after Chapter 2. Cosmetics Resolved a bug preventing side content cosmetic rewards (Smithy, Chip, Mason, etc.) from appearing in the player’s inventory. Note: While this issue has been resolved, affected rewards may not have been granted retroactively. We're still investigating and appreciate your patience.Progression Blockers Fixed a bug where completing "Fire and Brymmstone" with the Skip option failed to unlock Brymm’s banner in the Sparkhold. Resolved a boss fight issue where minibosses didn’t spawn, blocking completion. Fixed a critical bug causing warning decals (e.g., enemy telegraphs, danger zones) to disappear quickly or not display at all. Gameplay & Combat Fixed bugs causing companions to block shots, get stuck in geometry, or play incorrect animations. Resolved issues where companion selections didn’t persist between basecamp and host switches. Adjusted companion balance (e.g., Slug Bot stun-locking, Gunner Bot & Beam Bot “super elites”.) Fixed problems in Special Ops missions: Missions remained on the board after abandonment. Mission failed screens didn't reflect active special rules. Fixed an issue where using the Skip option did not grant the appropriate rewards (e.g., banners.)Fixed missing achievements tied to mod/weapon usage and enemy KOs. Clarified unclear achievement conditions (e.g., Strike Out!, Mod Squad.) Bosses and enemies now behave more consistently with corrected aggro, spawn, and death logic. Disabled auto-kill on mimic chests for bosses. Fixed collision, spawn, and interaction issues across various maps. Addressed animation bugs (UI pose popping, Slash Bot interrupts, stuck death loops.) Improved hitbox alignment for attacks (e.g., Beam Bot stomp.) Fixed "super elite" issues (e.g., not spawning Sentry Bots.) Balanced mission rewards, favor logic, and difficulty scaling. Buddy’s Action Figure now correctly unlocks after completing “Save the Unibots.” Fixed a bug preventing the “Cyberus Snaps Back” expedition from unlocking after Chapter 2. Fixed a progression blocker in “Morale Will Improve” (Chapter 9, Mission 3,) where the boss room would auto-complete without enemies. UI & UX Added tooltips in FTUE to reduce reliance on dialog. Fixed companion selection, inventory load, and UI stutter issues. Improved menu support for gamepad, mouse-only, scrolling, and tabbing. Mission board now better sorts completed vs. active missions; feedback nav improved. Fixed issues with Mason’s décor...Hotfixes (05/26)May 26, 2025 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45157739/0e668815a60c07f0da7e68fc54c8c74ef7f64116.png Hi, everyone!

Whether you’re slicing through waves of corrupted Combots or rebuilding a town of friendly Unibots, your every move helps restore a broken world. Starting today, Lynked 1.0 is officially live and on sale for 20% off starting today through 5/28. After a powerful early access journey, the full version is here, and it’s packed with new missions, new content, and new possibilities based on how you want to play! What Is Lynked: Banner of the Spark? At its core, Lynked is a genre-blending game that weaves together the intensity of fast-paced action combat with cozy town building. Think chaotic sword-swinging meets futuristic farmstead, all wrapped in a story of hope, connection, and rebuilding alongside some helpful and handy robots. Every mission strengthens your bond with the world around you. Playing solo or with friends, the deeper you go, the more you’ll discover this isn’t just a fight to survive. It’s a chance to fortify the resistance and rebuild. What Makes Lynked Special? A Genre Mashup We Call Rogue-Life Lynked fuses quick, hack-and-slash combat with community sim mechanics, allowing you to battle your way through dangerous biomes while also cultivating a home base for you to customize and level up. Defeating enemies fuels town upgrades, and supporting your town boosts your power in combat. It’s a loop of giving and growing. Wyre Combat System The Wyre is a grapple mechanic that redefines how you move and fight. Use it to grab enemies, launch yourself into battle, or chain devastating combos with speed and style. Combat becomes a fluid, kinetic dance where creativity wins. It will also support you in town as you come across the sneaky Bittibots or flyfish for Gillibots. Your Wyre is just as important as your weapon when it comes to collecting valuable resources to level up your character. Upgrades + Perma Progression Every mission brings randomized gear, abilities, and combat modifiers. No two missions are the same, but your long-term progression sticks. From weapon loadouts to Unibot relationships and town development, you’re always building something that lasts. A Band of Unibots Lynked is about togetherness. You can play solo or with friends, but you’ll never be alone. As you explore, you’ll rescue and recruit a quirky cast of Unibots, each one with their own personalities, dialogue, and gameplay perks. From farming and crafting to combat support, these lovable bots are your partners in (re)creation. Build More Than a Base Between battles, unwind with cozy gameplay loops that deepen your bond with the world. Grow crops, cook meals, upgrade facilities, and decorate your hub. Every act of care brings life back to your surroundings and to the characters who call it home. Lynked isn’t just about restoring buildings. It’s about fighting for a future… and growing one, too.

I really don’t mean that as a criticism, it’s kind of like when you put on a really nice pair of socks and they’re so warm and comfy that you forget they’re there. I would go so far as to say it did everything so well during the preview demo that a part of me honestly thought it had been released. So it was genuinely nice to dive back into Lynked: Banner of the Spark this time with a somewhat renewed perspective. Like I mentioned in my Empyreal review, I’ve been revisiting the 2006 Dreamcast/Gamecube classic Phantasy Star Online: Chapters I & II, and it’s been causing me to re-evaluate how ARPGs approach their design, so I was curious if it would change my initial thoughts on Lynked: Banner of the Spark. Thankfully, everything I remember from the game holds up pretty well, and the game’s combination of dungeon-crawling and townbuilding still makes for a satisfying...
