Not being able to go back to a prior save point means that if you get even slightly out of your league or make one miscalculation, you easily lose all you've worked for and, frankly, after doing that a few times, it's just not worth it to play anymore. Fun game, but needs more balance on standard to be worth investing the time. Being able to lose your weapon to enemies is hugely frustrating, and there's no way to do anything even vaguely similar to the enemies. Retreat works great if you like the sickening helpless feeling of watching your entire party killed before you can get out or enjoy spending all your time cruising for "retreat immediately" buffs. Again, fun game, but you get the feeling that the creator doesn't like people to enjoy themselves when playing games.
