How long is it?

[mechanoid]

Has anybody finished it yet? Can't find any information on how long it is, other than "not the longest dungeon crawler"

In another thread, the designer says 20 hours, but his wife took 40 hours. And he says there is a DLC in production that will add 10-20 hours. I've played 4.5 hours and just reached the third area (volcano).

Thanks, seems long enough, I will get it

It could be my way playing these, but aren't those games usually much longer?

How many of the dlc are actually good? Depending on the fact that I might understood them correctly, new classes?

On wizard worm review video he says 70 hours long.

I dumped almost 60 hours into Undernauts, but I'm already reaching the end of this game and haven't even hit 10 hours yet, so it's probably gonna be around 20 hours or so to finish. Also, the DLC isn't for new classes, just additional portraits to choose from.

I looked up a japanese playthrough online and it was under 10 hours.

I believe it. Steam shows my playtime as 12.1 hours at the moment (though, admittedly, some of that time was me being AFK while checking the JP wiki for information since hardly anybody is talking about it, lol) and I only have like... I wanna say 2 dungeons left? Maybe 1?

That seems way overstating it. I've restarted three times so I don't know. Loving the game so far but my guess is 20-30 hours to complete

The 4th area takes longer to clear than the 1st through 3rd areas combined. Even if you grind a bit, I don't see this game taking longer than 25-30hrs.

It took me a little over 16 hours on my ps5 playthrough with 3 warriors, 1 thief, 1 cleric, 1 wizard and no class changes.

To clarify, there is a 4-month gap between the PS4 version and the Steam version's master-up, during which we have revised the ambush judgment formula and strengthened boss monsters, resulting in an increased difficulty in the Steam version. It is possible to speedrun the game in just over 10 hours if you play through it a second time or follow a walkthrough to devise an optimal strategy, but for first-time players, it is generally a good idea to assume a playtime of around 20 hours to complete the game.

Please note that the initial version released in Japan had an even lower difficulty, so walkthrough information written in Japan may not accurately reflect the current situation. The updates made to the Steam version will also be applied to the Nintendo Switch and PS4 versions at the time of the DLC dungeon release. We apologize for the delay in implementing these changes simultaneously with the Steam version, which was caused by the delay in the DLC development.

Wish i found this post before i asked about postgame, but im glad its getting more life, offers me more incentive to grind and cross class.

Please note that the initial version released in Japan had an even lower difficulty, so

That explains why the late game has almost a 7th Saga like feel.
