Quick question - new player

[21's bitch]

As a completely new player and without microtransactions/P2W, is the grind in this game tolerable?

Around how many hours would it take to unlock everything and clear all content?

Grind's pretty tolerable, and as for how long it'd take, it depends on what maps you do. I never really felt starved at any point, I felt like every new hero was a burst enough to keep me going. I'm nearly 200 hours in and still haven't unlocked everything, but that's because I've made really bad decisions with what I used my monkey money and stuff on. If you play it smart, you could probably unlock everything fairly quickly.

there's an achievement for opening the daily chest 365 times, so the game takes a year minimum to 100%.

In my experience, at least over 20 hours to unlock "basic" contents (i.e tier 5 monkeys). If you want unlock "all", I will suggest you farming in smart way. Have some ref. from guides by google. Good luck.

Clear all content?

1 month.

Get all achievements? >365 days.

Are you referring to insta monkeys and achievements?

100% would take a minimum of 365 days because of the "open the daily chest for a year" achievement. In terms of "unlock all content"-- tbh, all the content is unlocked through regular gameplay, so I wouldn't call it a "grind" because if you don't want to play the game, you don't play. It's not like playing a game with grind sections for levelling up and story sections that you're trying to reach and pass. Besides needing certain things unlocked to succeed in what's really, from all practical standpoints, endgame content like Boss Events, you gain experience from playing and you unlock things to play with by getting experience.

Realistically, most people I know sometimes have some tier five towers of the monkeys they hate still not unlocked for much longer than you'd expect and do just fine, so besides if a Daily Advanced challenge has to use that monkey as a solution, if you're not using it anyways then not having the experience on it is nbd.

Appreciate all the comments guys.

I bought the game and already have a couple hours and unlocking all the monkeys was easy, upgrades don't take too long, the monkey money seems fair so far, and the monkey knowledge points aren't that hard to obtain.

I was thinking there would be a huge grind to be able to have access to all monkeys/upgrades or even levels etc., but everything seems fine so far, if this is how it will always feel then i really don't have a problem with the slight P2W microtransactions.
