I was immediately struck by the elevator pitch behind Moonlighter - a roguelike where you play as a shopkeeper who's forced to become an adventurer to find wares for his store. But for some reason I never got around to playing it. So when its sequel, Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, arrived in Steam Next Fest, I knew I had to rectify that.
Moonlighter 2 kicks off not long after the somewhat apocalyptic events of the first game, but this time in a new world. I won't go into specifics as to exactly what happens, but if you want a (spoiler-filled) rundown, you'll find it right at the start of the game. Suffice to say that protagonist Will returns, in a new store with a landlord who's pretty keen on getting as much cash from him as possible.
