Early Access (as of Aug 24, 2026)Verified
Quick answer
Moonlighter 2 alternates between action-RPG dungeon runs and running a shop. Loot gathered in dangerous dimensions must be arranged in the backpack, priced for customers, sold, and converted into upgrades for later runs.
During an expedition
- Choose and use combat equipment
- Fight enemies and manage risk
- Collect relics and other rewards
- Arrange loot to make use of backpack interactions
- Decide when the risk of going deeper is worth it
Back at the shop
- Place items for sale
- Choose prices
- Read customer reactions
- Use the proceeds for gear, shop, and town progression
