“While the current Early Access build suffers from some performance jitters and an incomplete narrative, the foundation is rock solid. If you loved the first game, or if you are a fan of Dave the Diver or Dredge looking for your next obsession, this is an easy recommendation. Just be prepared to wait a little while for the grand finale. Will is back, and business is booming., ColdMoon”

“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.”

“Moonlighter 2 is shaping up to be the game Digital Sun always wanted to make. The gameplay walks the same path trodden by the inaugural entry, but is now more polished, and studded with new options and embellishments that only improve the adventure experience. Some players may lament the same old shop mechanics and loss of the pixel art visuals, but I love the new 3D stylings, which fills the world with a warmth and softness that emphasises the game’s cosiness perfectly. Fans of the original Moonlighter should rush to play the sequel (even in Early Access), and I’d encourage new players to take this one to the counter and see what all the fuss is about.”

“Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is a game with diverse ambitions that, to varying degrees, manages to deliver on its promises. Furthermore, it achieves an interesting balance between two layers that might seem weak on their own, but ultimately succeed when combined.”

“Moonlighter 2 proves that running a shop can be just as thrilling as raiding a dungeon.”

“The pixelated look of Moonlighter has been replaced with an art style more befitting the sequel's shift to 3D, which well suits its variety of environments and its blend of fantasy, real life, and sci-fi themes. Enjoyers of the first Moonlighter may bristle against the changes implemented for Moonlighter 2, but what's new here has made a fan out of me. Simply put, I'm over the moon.”

“Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault has many enjoyable elements, but it falls short in some areas. Digital Sun dared to take risks, which paid off in some areas, but in others needs improvement.”

“Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault has a good start for an early access release, despite certain problems, such as targeting quirks, long boss fights, and limited storage space compared to the variety of relic types. Confidence in Digital Sun’s long-term potential is bolstered by its rapid problem-solving and great responsiveness to criticism.”

“Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is not a revolution, but it is a very solid evolution of an unusual concept. Digital Sun understands what made the original special and builds upon that foundation with a much more extensive roguelite system, more varied builds, new inventory mechanics, and a significantly more modern presentation.”

“Ultimately, Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is a great experience. Digital Sun has delivered a highly entertaining roguelite that is easy to get lost in. It is a case of quality over quantity; while that is usually a good thing, in this instance, a bit more content would have substantially elevated the final experience. ”

“Moonlighter 2 is an accessible roguelike with a strong sense of progression. Its mix of combat, puzzles, and shopkeeping makes for an enjoyable gameplay loop. The grind eventually becomes a bit noticeable and the loading times could be shorter. Overall, it is a visually appealing and polished improvement over its predecessor.”
