No option to save your game?
I read two reviews this morning, and they both say a big negative is not being able to save your game. I guess there is only save and exit. So, it's ironman or nothing in this game? That sounds pretty harsh.

I'm wondering why the developers chose this route for the game. Is it because the game is short, so they thought having a save option would make the game even shorter, because you could load your saved game if things went bad?

There ARE saves in this game, the game actually auto-saves between the missions.

Ok. But, just one auto-save? No option to save your game at will with multiple save slots?

There is no option to save manually in different slots as far as I remember but there are multiple auto-saves so you can load any of them.

You can save mid mission or could Pre 1.0.

Thank you, Scarab-Phoenix. Cap'n - the reviews I read said you couldn't. But, who knows. I'll be buying this game very soon and find out myself!

You can save anywhere, it takes you out of the game you are playing, but you can then just load the save if you so wish.

Ok, thanks. Well then why does it exit you from your game, then, if you can just load your save right away? Why not just let you save and continue playing?

The game is intended to be played in an Ironman style, but this is not enforced only gently encouraged.

Sorry to say, one of the save files corrupt and always crashed when I "load" it.
I think the "save and exit" may have problem

I will bring this up as a bug on the discord. Thanks for the report.

You can save at any point of a run and then load to continue. I don't have a lot of time to sit and play so I have saved at many points and picked right up.

I´m still a bit on the fence about this game. So from what I´ve gathered about this game so far, the game wants to encourage ironman playstyle, but when you make a couple mistakes (or just bad rolls) you are royally screwed and can´t really progress anymore.

In Darkest Dungeon I can always hire a new team of heroes if I completely screw up, here it seems that you just get grinded down and softlocked and have to restart a fairly linear story campaign.

Again I have only gathered this from watching YT and reading here. Am I wrong?
