    Lynked: Banner of the Spark is an interisting and original work that blends intense combat with town building, and does a very good job at linking both experiences and making them feel part of a coherent whole. Lighthearted and fun, despite its premise, Lynked features a very friendly and colourful art style and gives its players a palpable feeling of progression that's always very welcome. Players looking for an accessible and creative game, with a good dose of personality and a neat balance between combat and town building will most certainly enjoy their time with Lynked.

    Lynked: Banner of the Spark is a totally fine attempt at blending an action RPG with a life sim foundation. The town building aspects are stronger than the action RPG component, but even if the combat left something to be desired, it’s an enjoyable game. The online interaction is largely a disappointment, especially because it’s an online structure that seems adversarial to the handheld half of the Switch. This won’t go down as a memorable Nintendo Direct shadowdrop, but it’s a game that has some heart, even if it gets lost in some of the repetition and online emptiness.
