Nintendo Life's review covers Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault on Switch 2, the sequel to 2018's shopkeeper-dungeon-crawler hybrid Moonlighter. Developer Digital Sun has overhauled the visual style and reworked combat and exploration mechanics, but the review finds the sequel preserves the addictive day/night loop that made the original popular, blending shopkeeping with dungeon raiding into a compelling package.

The story picks up after the events of the first game, with protagonist Will stranded in a new hub town called Tresna after the villain Moloch seizes control of the dimensions from the original. A mysterious device called the Endless Vault drives Will to keep earning gold through his shop while exploring randomised dungeons at night. Changes include a more roguelike-style run structure with risk-reward node maps, four distinct weapon types (spear, gauntlets, shortsword, greatsword) each with deep upgrade trees, more nuanced combat with staggering and ranged options, and an expanded inventory-management puzzle system with new relic types that can destroy, protect or copy other items.
