During the recent Day of the Devs showcase, Digital Sun showcased new gameplay footage for the upcoming Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault. The game is available to wishlist now on PC via Steam.
The new gameplay footage, which will likely release soon, features new looks at the new world and characters of the upcoming sequel. Further, Digital Sun revealed that every time you open the shop, there will be new special effects that affect the gameplay experience. The Steam page describes Moonlighter 2 as follows:
Dive deep into Action-RPG with roguelike elements and a tale about new beginnings. With no coin to your name, you and the other townsfolk find yourselves stranded in the distant village of Tresna. Now, it’s up to you to get back on your feet and turn your humble shop into the beating heart of the village’s wealth. Explore dangerous dungeons, gather relics, sell them, and reinvest in your friends’ establishments. Unlock new weapons, armor, shop decorations, and—more importantly—restore hope that things can one day turn around.
Strap on your trusty backpack, hone your weapons, and venture into the unknown in search of new riches. The further you delve, the larger the treasure. Tread carefully, though. Let greed take hold, and you risk losing it all.
After each escapade, you put your hard-earned loot on sale. That’s where your shop-owner charm will shine. Decorate the layout of the shop floor, haggle for the best deals, and handle unexpected events to maximize your profits. Whether it’s simple junk or shiny relics, everything has a price.
A merchant can only be as prosperous as their village. Invest in the townsfolks’ establishments to obtain better weapons, armor, and upgrades. As the village thrives and grows more vibrant, new people (and money!) will be drawn towards your shop.
