Can anyone tell me if you can save your game where you left off.Or even when you die do you start on first dungeon again. I really want to buy this but these things worry me!☹️
Well, you can save after beating the boss on each floor. Also major progress like unlocked NPCs or charecter and weapons bought from breach merchants are saved automatically
It's a rouguelite, meaning that every run starts from floor one, but there are a few permenant items/unlockables that are kept after each run - specifically guns and items can be bought to go into the item pool, and NPCs can be unlocked which give you quests, run modifiers, or shops for more stuff for the item pool.
A run can be put on hold whilst you transition from one floor to the next, meaning that you can beat floor A, quit the game, then resume it at another time from the start of floor B. You cannot then go back to that savepoint, as it's only to put your run on hold, not for you to continuously restart from that point.
one of the defining features of the "roguelike" style of games is that you have to start over from the beginning if you die.
most of the shorter "roguelites" do not let you save. the longer ones let you create a temporary savefile that only saves your place until you come back and reload your save and then it deletes the save to prevent people from "cheating" and retrying the same part that they died at over and over until they succeed.
this game does let you save, at the exit elevator. but that is just a temporary save, until you come back and reload. it's just a way to allow you to take a break in the middle of a run.
the point of the randomized procedural generation is to create the uncertaintly of not knowing what is in the next room. if you knew what was coming, it would defeat the whole purpose of the challenge.
