Checkpoint save system is awful

[GOobERdOod]

Why can't we save the game when WE want to? Beware all those who find checkpoint save systems frustrating because this game uses Checkpoints.

I lost all the progress from my first run thinking it was saving between floors. That animation on the bottom right of the loading screen looks like an auto-save symbol.

Now I know, I guess. Would really like a save and quit, or at least a warning of how much unsaved time you are abandoning when you exit the game.

Yea it's a shame. Wish it were not so. Submitting refund request.

A stage is at most half an hour. If you can't finish it, you can always "return home" to at least secure the gold/xp you got on that run.

[Tonza]

I agree, this game needs save and exit button at least

[Kírby]

Yes it is totaly retarded. At this point it is no game for short time. You need to have much time for playing. So i will not buy this game . And i like the whole game. But this savepoint system - therefore you musts be a programmer with much of coffee no life, no friends, no social skills.

Minimum - a save after a level.

if you dont have 30 min to play a stage, why even bother playing one?
I dont have a problem with the system how it is.

Worst thing that can happen is that you will lose about 15 minutes of progress if you ALT F4

1) So you mean it takes only 30 minutes to complete 3 or 4 levels (aka. floors)??

2) I wish I could believe you. Are you sure about that? Every roguelite I've ever played, the levels got longer in completion time as the game went on, especially when you compare early-game levels to late-game ones.

You notice the devs wont respond to this because they don't care

The devs don't seen to respond to anything for this game...

Christ, gamers are whiners. It's an amazing game, & yes, it is only about 30 minutes between saves. "No life, no friends, no social skills" -- what in the ♥♥♥♥ are people talking about? If you only have 25 minutes of playtime, & literally not a minute more, then play Super Meat Boy & tackle Children of Morta when you can spare that precious extra five minutes to reach a save point.

So glad I'm not a developer reading this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Imagine if players had had access to discussion boards when The Legend of Zelda or Metroid first came out. The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ & moaning would have been hilarious.

Oh please those were good games. Everyone liked those. This is a dime a dozen indie game that no one will remember in 5 years.

This is nonsensical... The game saves all of your progress all the time, but progress is just Gold, XP, and Story Events, until you beat a boss and unlock a new level. If you die, all your stuff is saved BUT the items you picked up.

This is fairly standard Roguelite behavior, guys, can we just check the tags or gameplay basics before we start whining about the decision of the GENRE the game is in?

Lol. Hindsight is 20/20. If gamers had had instant access to developers back then, even classic titles would have been pelted with complaints. What would have been seen as flaws contemporarily are tolerated now thanks to nostalgia's rose-tinted glasses. Also, you have no idea what will be remembered or forgotten in five years, & Morta is anything but a dime a dozen.

Pixel art based hack and slash roguelite is suddenly not a thing that had 50 other games on steam haven't did?
