GET RID OF PERMA-DEATH | ADD SAVES

The perma-death mechanic is WAY too punishing, and even then if I manage to make it up to veteran, the game crashed and ALL of my progress is gone, makes not even wanna open up the game again even though I'm absolutely in love with it. I haven't had this much fun with a game in a very long time and it's very disappointing to see something I know is an easy fix not be in an update from the start. As long as perma-death is removed, and we're given the option to use it or not, this update is not fun. I wish when you died it'd just bring you down a rank and not make you lose the character. Again, I really love this game and I'll still play it, but it is very hard to enjoy it in this state after playing the play-test.

Never played a roguelike before? Welcome to the 21st century...

This is just a demo, I'm fine with this as long as they announce the full version soon. The full version is bound to be more like the playtest I presume. We can't expect to be able to play the game for free forever, eventually there were gonna actually release it at some point.

I would recommend learning about the thing you are talking about before parading around and acting like you know everything, this demo, even in free mode, is a shadow of what the playtest was and only someone who hasn't actually played the playtest would give as ignorant a response as you have

Everything from the playtest is in the demo. I swear people complain just for the sake.

I'm not complaining and you would realize this if your reading comprehension was actually decent... my first comment on this post is in support of this new change.

Also I bet everything is in there, I just doubt that the full version will lock all content behind this new progression system, I bet this is just a new mode that they force on the demo users and that the full game will be more like the playtest, which I am fine with.

The devs put out a tech demo to demonstrate the sword play and technology and people here literally get the impression that the game was meant to just be a tech demo?

It's crazy. I'm sure none of you people actually play games. Just download the trainers and and unlock everything like you do for all every other game.

It seems you're here just to argue, so I will leave you to that, I don't wish to waste my time talking to nobodies on the internet for no reason atm

Time it took you to write this post, prob could have got back to where you where when you died.

A save would make the sense of progression boring. It’s a win or lose all type of game.
