When does this game save? Or how do i save manually?

[philipprime]

My game has been saving, so please don't assume it's not saving at all. It saves at checkpoints within a battle, but a few times now, I've finished a battle and then i've closed down. I came back to the game, only i have to redo the battle i already finished.

So my question is when does this game save? How long after you finish a battle does it save? Or is there a way to save manually? Thanks! And I'm enjoying it very much :D

That's odd as I never encountered a situation like yours. Not to say that it couldn't happen, but the game saves routinely and there isn't any way to save manually.

But I wonder if there's any difference in the way the game saves if you're playing online or offline.

When I was doing the tutorial mission, I quit partway through and it didn't save, but since then it always has saved mid mission just fine.

Ugh... ok well thanks for the responses. I'll just hope that it doesn't happen too often, and perhaps find some sort of pattern of it and update here. Thanks again :)

What part is considered the tutorial though? I ended up refunding because of this. I spent like 35 minutes playing and started getting tired cause it was late, no save feature found nor was there any mention during game of it saving. Got to a point that mentioned checkpoints and even that was super confusing because it seemed to mention stuff that really hadn't interacted with yet like you're going to lose 50 this and lose this and that.

I'm really sorry for late reply. I should have answered this question early.

The mission is automatically saved every two minutes, so you can continue whenever you restart. So in case of forced shutdown, it can be a rollback about two minutes. And a game that hasn't just progressed for two minutes may not be auto-saved.

Checkpoints are set for each mission. Some missions exist only at the beginning and some occur when the boss is caught, and in some cases when a certain area is moved. These checkpoints are the points that can be returned during the mission.

The reason why we don't directly provide saves on this part is that online, because massive data is generated and cannot be managed. But in this regard, we are looking for ways to support manual saves with offline mode limitations. I'm sorry that I couldn't give you a definite answer because I'm not sure yet.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience in many ways.

Sorry for the inconvenience! We'll do our best to improve it!

Thanks for feedback, giving it another go, gameplay portion seemed pretty solid, and was enjoying character focus.

This game really is fantastic! And thank you for the info about when saves happen :)

I played the game for about 2 hours today, and no problems with saving. Hoping this was just a fluke.

Pretty sure this game need to pass atleast 2 to 3 hours of gameplay to actually start to have fun gameplay element.

The entire 1 and 2nd mission is more like a tutorial mode (which each of it will need more than half hour to finish if played slowly)

The gameplay starts to get decent as soon as you reached the mission where the actual tutorial mission took place and continues from there.
(Right before recruiting the 3rd char)

I think a long tutorial period can turn off people with doubts who rely on the refund option.

Probably not the case but if you played the scenario on one computer and logged in from another later on, there is a chance that Steam did not import the save over cloud. Sometimes happens to me when I switch between laptop / desktop at home.

Even with only 1 save slot a Save button would be useful...

Just had this happen to me. Finished a mission then left exited the game. didn't save the mission.
