Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault

In many ways, this is the same satisfying core experience as the first game. A visual overhaul and some significant changes to combat and dungeon exploration, however, make Moonlighter 2 a bigger, bolder sequel that's worth clocking in for.

With its blend of action and business, it’s the kind of addictive sequel that will keep you playing until dawn. It will even make you say “I’ll just play one more round” and it’s well worth your time from start to finish.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault blends roguelite exploration, satisfying combat, and shop management into a charming adventure where every relic can become either a valuable upgrade or the key to your next big profit.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault comes highly recommended because it’s a more complete, deeper sequel with plenty of new features. The developers didn’t just repeat what worked in the first game; instead, they understood where it could evolve and what elements they should keep. It’s true that a few extra elements are missing, but the final version is ideal for both fans of the original and new explorers.

“Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault delivers an addictive and rewarding roguelike experience, perfectly blending fast-paced combat, exploration and shop management into a satisfying gameplay loop.”

The long-anticipated arrival of Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault from developer Digital Sun is definitely worth the wait, even after spending months in Early Access. The sequel is a well-polished release that strengthens the best aspects of the game, from its overall story, roguelike mechanics, and combat, engaging shopkeeping features, and worldbuilding, despite minor technical issues being a slight nuisance.

There are many things that Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault does right, like the exploration part, along with the roguelike integration and the different paths you can take to explore every biome.

In a way, I can see that reducing certain elements enabled the folks at Digital Sun to make something that felt more robust. Even if they followed the same path that many others took, it seems to have worked out swimmingly and that is something you can’t put a price on.

Moonlighter 2 takes one of gaming’s most satisfying gameplay loops and somehow makes it even better. It’s a prettier, deeper, more emotionally resonant game than the already excellent original, and is a must-play for all roguelike fans.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is an absolutely incredible game, sitting at the very top of the Roguelike tower with only the all time greats.
