Create the file path for the save:

 `If not exist "%userprofile%\Saves" md "%userprofile%\saves"`

Assign Variable to Folder file path:

`set saveLoc="%userprofile%\saves"`

Create blank File at target Location:

`If not exist "%saveLoc%\data.sav" break>%saveLoc%\data.sav"`

Assign a variable to your file path

`set Gamesave="%saveLoc%\data.sav`

For efficient coding... Block all your data into a single variable, prefixing with a character for delims.

`set data=+%var1%+%var2%+%var3%+%var4%`

THEN TO SAVE:

`ECHO %data% >%Gamesave%`

For efficient coding... Assign a variable to For /F loop components to bookend each token you wish to retrieve...

 `Set lo=For /f "usebackq tokens=`
    `Set ad= delims=+" %%a IN (%Gamesave%) DO SET`

THEN TO LOAD:

`%lo%1%ad% var1=%%a`
`%lo%2%ad% var2=%%a`
`%lo%3%ad% var3=%%a`
`%lo%4%ad% var4=%%a`

This approach saves an awful lot of typing.
