How much playtime is in this game?

[Soulreaver]

I saw a few lets plays of this game but try to stay relatively spoiler free regarding upgrades, gamemodes and what not.

So how much playtime is in there?
I get that it's highly subjective so I just want to know your subjective feeling about that matter.

Well I had put in nearly 10 hours into the demo alone, which only had a fraction of content compared to the full release version. There's achievements, a tonne of unlocks and various challenges that the player can undertake. I can easily see myself spending over a hundred hours playing this game. But like you said, it's subjective.

I'f you're like me and just want all the unlocks so you can try them I'd say between 5 and 10 hours. It took me 3 hours to unlock everything (except the Orchard which I still don't know how to unlock 4+ hours in =)

That's really short.

Yeah generaly this is what i do. Unlock stuff and play around with it.
In general I try to make passive builds work (as much as possible), try to make active builds work.
And generaly either once I made every build work or see I can't get it to work I lose interest.

I beat the first run I ever attempted, just under 2 hours. There's not much to unlock and the game doesn't change much between runs.

I'd say theres anywhere between 2 to 4 hours of content. Its very short.

Refunding personally.

Well I already have 7.2 hours into it, though I don't know if it combined with my demo playtime. Been playing on Medium sized maps on Brutal difficulty. Haven't unlocked everything yet, but will probably keep playing until I do. If the core gameplay loop is compelling for you, I'm sure you'll get a lot of replay value out of it.

Yeah I come to the conclusion that I'll probably see a decent amount in 2hrs so that I can make an edjucated guess to refund it or not.

I don't think Dome Keeper is the kind of game you play and "finish" (there is no definitive end), so, the question about playtime will give you a wide variety of answers depending on given playstyle.
I like to play games like this over and over - I found the demo of Dome Keeper to have a lot of replay value and I spent 50 hours on the demo alone. The final game has much more content than the demo, so I expect to spend at least 100 h in it.

Have played one round.
Wasn't as much fun as expected although I won. So I'm refunding it.

Thanks for your help Everybody
