Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault

Tiene bajadas grandes de FPs y los tiempos de carga son considerables. Necesita un parche para la optimización.

閃退太嚴重，8小時遊戲時數大約有3小時被閃退掉，沒有中斷save，經常要重新遊戲。很差很差的體驗！

TLDR: A game with a lot of potential, brutally scoped down to fun but not particularly memorable little game, marred by crashes that kill motivation for engaging with what it has going for it. I really want to like this game more than I do. I waited until 1.0 to fire this up because I didn't want to suffer a drip feed of content for something I could really like. Having played this past week, it seems to have a solid core: running dungeons, choosing battle perks, selling your relics, and fun inventory management system where relics interact with eachother. Unfortunately everything seems to have been pretty brutally scoped down to a really shallow experience. Shopkeeping gets pretty flat quickly as there's not enough variability in the day to day. The battle perks lack breadth so the fun of chasing builds and synergy really doesn't ever materialize. The story aspect of the game is VERY light with nothing much happening in regards to characters, the main antagonist, and an ending that really felt more like: lets just put in something to wrap it up as economically as possible, rather than satisfying or even challenging. I understand that not every game needs to be huge with piles of content, but damn did the base of the game have the potential for so much more than is realized. Seems like such a missed opportunity. That said, for a fun LITTLE game, it isn't horrible. Unfortunately the big thing that pulls this down from "don't expect the depth of Recettear, but its fun for a bit" to a not recommend is the crashes. I've run into sudden, game exiting crashes about once every play session for the past couple days since 1.0 release. These crashes wouldn't be so demoralizing if crash recovery would put you back where you were in the dungeon with your bag inventory intact, but instead you find yourself kicked out of the dungeon loosing everything you were enjoying building up in your bag (this game's most engaging feature), with the section of the day also missed. The impact of the crash is so brutal that I've found myself really fearing investing much effort into the inventory for fear of randomly loosing that progress, and not engaging with extended runs as well. A really bad feeling after such a long EA period.

I really enjoyed moonlighter 1, and am having a blast with the 2nd now as well. New art style is beautiful, combat improved, still has the shop but feels less like a grind at times for myself. The shop not having a timer is such a nice touch, can actually sell everything I need and not hoard. Combat is really fun and smooth, some minor bug fixes hopefully full release will address (honing on spear seems to be bugged sometimes). Overall solid 8/10 so far and with it getting its full release soon I'm excited for the future.

每次一修改商店里的家具或者展示柜就死机，希望能修复这个bug

Peak!!! Can't wait a huge update next month

If you’re thinking about buying it, please remember: there’s a demo available. I honestly don’t understand buying the game and then leaving a negative review because it’s different from the first one. Moonlighter 2 definitely plays a little differently. The runs lean more into temporary, single-run buffs and build choices, somewhat closer to something like Hades. And honestly, I really enjoy that change. A sequel doesn’t have to be a carbon copy of its predecessor. There’s no need to constantly compare every mechanic to the first Moonlighter. Moonlighter 2 can stand on its own and it’s still a great game. Try the demo, see if the changes are for you, and judge the game for what it is rather than what you expected a sequel to be. I for one can really enjoy it.

The game is solid but a lil glitchy, but once you get the groove of it and upgrade a good majority of everything. It gives back the old Moonlighter feel. The quality system took some time to adjust to but once you focus on that the game has a good loop. Good luck!
