On the Radar with Moonlighter 2 – delving beyond the early access launch of this roguelike RPG with exclusive developer access

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is here, but it’s only the start. Launching in early access means this roguelike RPG is still growing as developer Digital Sun engages with the community on improving the game. Hero Will’s quest isn’t only to snag loot from dungeons accessed portals, but to make enough money selling them in order to unlock the titular Endless Vault.

It’s a unique mix of genres, juggling run-based combat synergies with tweaking the prices of your own stock. As well as our own early access review, we’ve also spoken with Digital Sun about putting together this sequel and what it’s like to approach an early access launch. We’ve also dug into the systems that have impressed us the most, what could still use tightening, and the impact of shop-based adventures like Moonlighter and Moonlighter 2 on the indie sphere.
