No saves? What?

[dimadunedin]

Played it for 40 minutes figuring controls and gameplay, then quit. Then started again. All progress gone, lets start from begining.
Thank you very much, I just ununstalled the game.

Prodeus saves during levels by touching Nexus Points. If you don't complete the level, you'll need to start the level from the beginning, but the levels themselves aren't that long.

It saves your overall progress on the world map when you select one of the save and quit options.

Hello....I am very confused. Are you telling me that this game has no checkpoint system or saves? I have about 10 minutes available to play at a time because of work and various other responsibilities. Are you telling me I am basically barred from progressing?

I don't understand...this game has overwhelmingly positive reviews, without a save feature?

When you finish a level, your progress across the campaign is saved. If you don't finish a level, you lose only your progress *during* that level, that you will have to restart from the beginning.

If you're this impatient with everything in life, there's little hope for you.

If you can only play 10 minutes at a time I think that unfortunately you might have to resort to mobile gaming.

Like others said, the game saves after you complete a level, but not during a level if you quit. For the longer levels you'll need up to 30 minutes to complete them. It's not too bad, but it does require that you find some gaming time and not just go for quickies in the middle of work or other important stuff.

Who plays only 30 mins? And if you do.. you at least finished a level. Doesn't seem to be a problem at all

Don't judge him on his habits as a player and pile on him like that, just give him factual information, and then he can decide whether this is a game that fulfills his own needs or not. No need for a bunch of additional posters taking it upon themselves to add a harsh remark (I'm not saying that for the last comment above mine, just a general vibe of a thread that should have run its course already).

I think the judgement came from the OP not taking the time to understand how the save system works and promptly uninstalling the game. It's often the first post that sets the general vibe.

ha... HAHAHAAHHAHA

Laughs in DOOM, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Distance, Unreal Tournament, Tetris Effect Connected, HUNTDOWN, DUSK, Starcraft 2, Celeste, Need for Speed 3.

You can do plenty in 10 minutes in those games.

The levels in this game aren't that huge, you can finish one in 10 minutes.

Maybe some of the smaller ones, but the longer ones take around 30 minutes for me, and I move pretty fast.

[Sci666]

What a crap... I noticed that too... Please change this!

[DaylightDemon]

to be honest the checkpoints in the levels and the levels themselves are nicely paced. so having no quicksave isnt a problem at all in my opinion. you will never lose any real progress. that is if you dont basically afking in a map for 40 minutes to be progress

[Stoibs]

I... can't for the life of me understand all the Sh*tty poeple here gatekeeping or insulting the OP like this?
What the hell? Is this bizarro world?
The guy saying 'WhO OnLy PlAyS fOr 30 MiNuTeS' must be jobless and without a family too I guess?
Christ almighty..

The fact of the matter is that the save system in this game *Objectively* sucks, it's known throughout the gaming community to suck, it's the cause for a lot of people being turned away and being disinterested whenever it's brought up in conversation across other socials/reddit etc. it's one of the biggest complaints that this game generally has had since launch.
And I mean, most importantly there's a reason these devs are sheepishly implementing a proper save system with the release of the next DLC. A little too little too late for me but I guess they reasoned that a *lot* of us where never going to buy or bother with the new paid DLC if they didn't address one of the biggest flaws first.. so kudus to them for finally listening I guess?
