How long to beat ?

[Aradhor]

Hi !

I'm looking for a cheap game to buy (because I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ broke and want to play) and I stumble upon this one. My question is : is it worth in hours ? I want something I can play for 50+ hours (at least), so is it that kind of game, please ?

Depends what you mean by beat. A typical run lasts around an hour. To unlock the whole story, well I'm currently 20 hours in and still have story to unlock.

But these types of games shine on their replayability. I loved Slay the spire, and once I saw this knew that i would also love this.

Yes replayability is something I count in it. I know a single run is not much in these kind of games

Well, ask yourself a few questions. Do you like roguelites? Do you like card games? Are you good at tactical thinking? Do you like fantastic voice overs? Is your computer up to snuff for this game? (Surprisingly needy.)

Those questions should help you decide, but to help you along. The game is fantastic in every sense of the word. Sometimes it is overly imbalanced against you, but you can easily become the same and it feels great when it happens!

It took me around 60 hours to get True Ending.

I'm at 29 hours and pretty much just maining one of nine classes. I recommend it.

Since no run is like another and you have hefty amount of classes to play through, there's quite a lot of replayability.

Really depends on you. :) if you know what youre doing you can nail down all story stuff in about 30h, I think... but I love this game and regularly start from scratch and have since prealpha release spent more than 200h in it and am so not tired of it yet :p

For me it's a game you can play for an hour or two every day without getting bored. Doing this for weeks. Idk your tastes, but for me I got my moneys worth out of it.

You can certainly play for that long and still find new things to try out/even unlock.
It's not the kind of game you want to play all day (it gets kinda repetitive) but it can certainly last a very long time.

I'm at over 37 hours, and I still haven't beaten it to completion. However, I'm pretty sure the only thing I'm missing is something I got atrociously unlucky for. So 37 hours for me, assuming what's left is all that I think it is.

As far as run length goes, I've found it to be about 2-3 hours when getting started, and that time will go down the more you get used to playing it.

If I have one complaint about this game, it's that if you know how to play games like these, then you'll find this rather easy once you get the basics. It's not like Slay the Spire where death is a real possibility to skilled players who have bad luck or make bad choices. That being said, the 'secondary' final boss is basically a punching bag for damage high scores, so if you like the idea of building up a super character to see how much you can do, then you won't mind so much.

The difficulty does scale up indefinitely, but it goes too slow. I just beat difficulty 10, and I still feel I don't have to try all that hard to win.
