Well I don't know anything about how to restore my corrupted files, but I believe I got to root of how my character and map was corrupted in the first place. I use a laptop, a Toshiba. It was all going well until the laptop stopped coming out of sleep mode. I'd have my game open, mainly because I would die and I would have to go to work, so my theory was come back and get my gold drops later. I was having no problem with this, then like a couple of days ago, it was taking a lot of effort to wake up, until I finally had to reboot. I'd get it booted up, the game would be exited but I hadn't lost any progress because of the auto save. Well yesterday came around and it really had trouble coming out of sleep. Multiple reboots... blah blah blah. Well come to play today and my character and world is fried. At first I came to these forums, hoping to salvage my hard work. But then as the problem presisted, I was like what's the difference if I can barely get this thing on. So I was just on the toshiba forum going through like three years of this being a persistent problem with several different toshiba models, windows 8-10, with no real solutions. So there in lies my reason for the corruption, the game being dropped or shut off improperly. Not something I think the developers should be blamed for. Maybe go back and think if this may be the root of how your files got corrupted.
