Bit confused about campaign length

[Fusei]

Still on the fence about this game and was wondering about the campaign length.

Found this review : https://steamcommunity.com/id/LoftusActual/recommended/1295500/ where the user claims that he's completed it in 10ish hours whereas a dev previously said that the campaign was designed to be 25-30 hours long : https://steamcommunity.com/app/1295500/discussions/0/3111404628279292006/?ctp=3 (last comment).

So which is it?

[black Harlekin]

its more around 20+ hours long. it depends on the difficulty you play on.

[Terrapin]

I'm right at 30 hours and not done with the campaign. Some of the mission are quite long. I did redo a couple of missions, one of them the infamous ambush mission and I have played a skirmish here and there.

Looking at that review I would say he is full of ♥♥♥♥ tbh.

I have no idea how you'd complete the campaign in 10 hours, unless you were deliberately trying to speed run it on the easest difficulty.

[Zinkaghost]

I'd have to agree that 10 hours seems a bit of a stretch. But sounds like a challenge now!

[Sidonus]

Lol, if you're actually trying to have ANY fun whatsoever, then 10 hours?...Absolutely not.
I am having A BLAST btw....like...more so than Mechanicus by far...and I rated Mechanicus as the best thing since DoW 2....sooo (DoW 2 is my all time favorite game ever). Not...not that it RIVALS DoW 2...just...perspective.

The campaign is definitely long and epic.

I'm a little bit more than halfway through the game, Almost 14 hours in and I'm on the easiest setting since the last turn base tactic game I played was almost 20 yearss ago. So the story mode is definitely a good length. And it's also very replayable since you can do a different upgrade build for your army on another playthrough so chances are you'll replay the campaign at least once.

You also get skrimish mode against A.I and multiplayer against human players for a epic turn base vs experience.

It's definitely worth the money if you're a fan of 40k. It's one of the better 40k games.

Dude, I usually semi struggle with tactical turn based especially in the 40k world for some reason...trust me...normal aint that bad, just a heads up.
In fact, probably gonna give the hardest mode a go second time around...which I usually don't do in this genre.

Yeah I kinda regret not making playing on a harder setting. In the beginning it was still hard but now that my army is upgraded, it became a lot easier. I'm still having a lot of fun though. And since the campaign is designed to be replayable, I'm definitely going to replay it on a harder setting and with a increased spawn rate once I beat it.

[Silveressa]

Took me about 33.5 hours to finish the campaign on the normal setting, Doubtful they finished the full campaign in 10 without dumbing the difficulty down and rushing every map.

It's worth noting you can replay all the campaign maps in skirmish mode at various difficulties with higher/lower army point values and different load outs if you'd rather not play through the entire campaign normally a second time around.

[mammles]

The campaign took me 23 hours on normal difficulty, and that was with me being slow and just taking it all in for the first time. 10 hours would be a try hard, not a normal player run.

I like the extra fluff and story aspects though. Good to know though.

[Ariochaotik]

I just finished the campaign with 38 hours of time in game.

Thanks for the answers, I'll see for myself then :p
