If there’s something I care about in the world of fiction is the destruction of the world itself. Post-apocalyptic, dystopia, you name it, I’m all for it. Deadlock Station’s premise is right up that alley, but I was slightly worried when I read the words “tactical roguelike,” which I fear would translate to “confusing repetition.” Well, color me gladly surprised, as what I did find, while not perfect, was not that by a long shot.
Here’s everything you should know about the official launch of Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault.
If you mix dark fantasy, a post-apocalyptic setting, and a dread-adjacent atmosphere into a game, you’re most likely to pique my interest. The Early Access version of Entropy did it for me, for sure. Personally, I’ve never been a huge fan of tactical, turn-based role-playing games, but it only took me a couple of fights to understand I was into something special. Not perfect by any means, of course, but special regardless.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before; a guy’s significant other is randomly kidnapped by a maniacal villain and he sets out to rescue her. It’s a heavily familiar setup, albeit one with a couple of highly familiar twists to bolster it. Twisted Tower’s art direction is overly reminiscent of Bioshock too, but strong level design alongside an above-board presentation and entertaining gameplay make it worth playing despite the cliches.
