10 Video Games That Punished You For Saving

10. Ni No Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch

Ni No Kuni isn't one of those RPGs where you can take it easy once you reach a certain level. At any point in your playthrough, even the lowest enemies can take you out. If you're not monitoring your party's HP, you'll be looking at the Game Over screen before you know it.

When this occurs, you'd assume you have to restart from the last save point. But that's not always the case, since the game allows you to save at the exact moment you died, so you don't lose any progress.

But there's a cost. To utilise this feature, you have to fork over 10% of your coins. Now, 10% of anything doesn't sound like much. If that's the price to avoid losing an hour of progress, it seems reasonable.

But this "to save or not to save" dilemma is a problem, since equipment in Ni No Kuni is REALLY expensive. There are times where you have to grind for an hour and sell dozens of items just to afford one flippin' sword! If you're hoping to fill up your wallet, it might be better to restart from the last save point after you die, rather than accepting this costly compromise.
