How do I save?

[Billtog]

There's a save button in the menu, but I think that's just to save my settings. How the heckles do I save?

[Dr. Spendlove]

Saving has always been automatic for me. Every time I use the "end turn" button in combat, the game is saved.

Saving is automatic, happens constantly.

So I can't save whenever I want? I can't create separate save files? I can't save a save and load a save? Wowee. This kind of stuff really needs to be in a disclaimer before the purchase screen. Too late for a refund so I guess I'll tough it out since the game is pretty fun so far.

The game has the roguelike tag, that makes automatic saving more or less the standard.

If you want more control you can always savescum.

It's also a Strategy, RPG, and Turn-Based Strategy. It's also a video game. Tags don't mean you can't save, you have to play it on your car, it's just a jar of peanut butter, or your dad's coming over tonight. There's no tag for any of those things... I hope.

And no, I can't savescum because I can't save.

Well on the contrary i really hope if i`m trying to buy a jar of peanut butter it has a tag telling me what it is, so i don`t have to guess

If it didn`t change with the cloud sync, the saves are stored in AppData\Local\TemplarBattleforce
each game has its own save.. something like: game_x.db
Backupping that IS the savescumming
Also the game automatically save at the start of each turn, you can replay the current turn just by quitting to the menu

You wouldn't download peanut butter.

These are all workarounds to the real problem though. The problem that there is no Save or Load in the pause menu like every other game since 1990.

I would download peanut butter if I could! ;)

I like the cut of your jif.

Sorry that auto-saving wasn't clear and that you'd missed the window for the refund.

+1 for PB download as well.

I'm not that sore about it. It seems like a dunder-headed thing to omit (like how you can't pause in Dark Souls), but this game is a load of fun. Thank you so much for that.

Somehow most tactics games get the formula so wrong (not enough units on the field, field is too small, not enough ♥♥♥♥ to unlock and play with), but you guys really nailed the basics and let your work speak for itself. Great job!

@Poobs - I am glad that you are enjoying the game! I hope you'll consider leaving a review on the game and share your experience with others.

The lack of the ability to save off a single game into multiple saves is intentional, as someone mentioned above, as a rogue-like standard. It is also a common feature of all games made by our studio.
