How is the campaign length and replayability?

[Heretical Caliphate]

I'd really like to drop the money on it. How many hours could I look at getting from it with just single player? Do the DLC's add any significant play time?

[TGCMactar]

5-10 hours campaign depending if you are good or not. dlc adds to skirmish (vs ai) and multiplayer

[Ashardalon]

also 3 ways to play campaign
and a few missions that have effects on the game later so possibly 5?
but generally 3 ways to play the campaign

DLC's is for skirmish and MP
play time depends on if you want to play them and get the elite lvl100 achievement
but no campaign for them

uhm what do you mean? Difficulty? doing alliance or not? or if you complete certain Objectives to make your future battles easier?

[Ashardalon]

aliance or not and surviving comander

Definitely got about 6 to 10 hours out of it. Plus just challenging yourself with increasing difficulty is fun. Can't wait for the 2nd one

Can you play through the whole campaign as ONE faction? Also implying the 5-10h mentioned is for one faction?

Well, store text was rather vague:

An expansive single-player campaign across the Gothic sector.
Four factions to command, each one with its own strengths and skills.

So, imperial fleet, and 5-10h, sounds good.

Thank you.

dont you own the game?

[just.kamk /idle]

Didn't, just bought it.

I dont suggest this game. In my opinion the greatest flaw it does have is the fleet point system which does not scale with your admiral level.

At one point you get 700 fleet points and next mission you get 300 fleet points which makes the game little bit too hard and not fun at all for people that would like to have 4-12 ships on battlemap. I would like it to scale the more you advance the more fleet points you get but thing isnt like I would like to it have.

With 300 fleet points you can field like 2-3 ships against 3-4 ships vs ai in campain. Also Im not sure whether its bug or what is it but sometimes when you target your abilities such as nova cannon it does not target where you want it to. Played 10 missions.

[Ashardalon]

novas have a scatter, the AOE you see while targetting is not the AOE of the weapon but the scatter it can have
the explosion can happen anywhere inside the targetting area

the fleet points do go up during campaign, you start at 250 and go up to 700
if you unlocked 700 but you only get 300 means you had allies in that mission, taking the other 300
probably a breacktrough mission so 600pts available

if you want bigger fleets BFG2 might be something for you
they are increasing the fleet size by a lot
but with how BFG1 plays 12 ship fleets are a bad idea anyway

Played it through, and so far it did?
If you don't play some of the earlier missions, they will remain till later on - or at least so i think.

Also: escorts, escorts, escorts.

Sidenote: took me way more than 5 hours to complete the campaign i think. Was a bit tough at start, but fun. Thanks for all the input.

Don't lnow about replayability, but I am sure won't try to complete campaign. Twice game froze after the "protect the Inqusitorial ship with Hand of Darkness on it". ♥♥♥♥ it.
