Can you quit to main menu to select a different character?

I know you can switch characters in town but once you start a run, the only options seem to be abandon run or quit the game entirely (which allows you to resume if you reselect the same character next time).

What if I want to leave this character where they are and start a run with a different character? I'm pretty sure that was an option in the original HoHw.

I dont know if thats how switch character works, but thats how quit works, if you then go back in as another character, so i presume that switch character works the same.

Switch is in town.
For now you have to quit to save that run, reload, then make/continue different character.

each character state is saved for that run. singleplayer if you leave back to town without abandoning, then you can start a new run with another character, but if you were to load the 1st character it'll ask if you wanna finish the run.

this can be taken advantage of multiplayer though. have someone host, then you can join the lobby and cycle with your characters if you were to die to avoid the hp debuff.
we did this method defeat avatar on ng+3. although you wont have trinkets or anything, but you at least have like 9 characters to cycle through and your potions to use lol.

Original HoH1 did not have a switch character option even in town, but yes: Quitting meant back to menu instead of closing the application.

Right now there isn't an option to quit to menu on a single player run, sadly.

Maybe in HoH3 we get a switch character option AND a "quit to town" / "quit to main menu" option, who knows...

Seriously though, I'd like that full range of options both in HoH1 and HoH2 someday.

Wrong.
It was.
See above comment. Or start up HoH1 and check for yourself, I don't mind.
