14 Games That Shockingly Deleted Their Own Save Files (Or Themselves)

Steel Battalion

If using a complex controller with 40 buttons to simulate a mech’s cockpit wasn’t enough, Steel Battalion could delete your progress. There are certain conditions to this – if you fail to eject in time, then your character is effectively dead. You can start a new character but it has to be from the beginning as some other poor soul faces the horrors of war. For a game about giant walking mechs, this might be a little too real for us.
