    How Long Does It Take to Complete Vampire Crawlers?

    Vampire Crawlers is quite different from Vampire Survivors. Instead of a shoot ’em-up style, it’s a deck-building dungeon crawler. So, any knowledge you have of Vampire Survivors isn’t useful here, including how long it takes to finish the game. Vampire Crawlers is a shorter game overall.

    That doesn’t mean it’s quick to complete. In fact, fully completing the game can be pretty challenging. To help you decide if you want to take on the task, here are the average times to finish the game, based on user data from HowLongToBeat.

    How Long Does It Take To Beat?

    You can technically get through the entire adventure in about four hours, which involves completing all the dungeons in the game.

    However, most players will find it difficult to do all that without replaying levels and unlocking many useful crawlers and relics. Typically, a full playthrough lasts around 19 hours.

    How Long Does It Take To 100 Percent?

    Achieving 100% completion in Vampire Crawlers is no easy feat. This means unlocking every achievement, earning all the trophies, beating every dungeon, and unlocking everything in the game.

    There are 161 achievements and 162 trophies, making this a difficult challenge. Still, according to HowLongToBeat, it usually takes about 22 hours to accomplish everything.

    How Many Dungeons Are There?

    There are nine main dungeons, with some composed of multiple stages. Here’s a breakdown:

    • Village
    • Mad Forest (includes Furious Forest and Berserk Wood)
    • Inlaid Library (includes Library West Wing and Library Sanctum)
    • Teeny Bridge
    • Dairy Plant (includes Milk Factory and Curd Refinery)
    • Weeny Bridge
    • Gallo Tower
    • Meany Bridge
    • Cappella Magna (includes Cappella Magna and Cappella Ultima)

    How Long To Complete Octopath Traveler 0 & Solving Its Journey

    Octopath Traveler 0 is a lengthy game. It’s definitely one of the longest JRPGs I’ve ever played, ranking alongside titles like Dragon Quest 7 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The main story alone is quite substantial, and adding all the side content makes it even more extensive.

    Since time is limited, it’s important to know what you’re getting into before choosing your protagonist and heading into Wishvale. Here’s what you can expect.

    Main Story
    The main storyline in Octopath Traveler 0 is estimated to take about 100 hours to complete, according to the developers. That’s not an exaggeration; I can see where they’re coming from with that estimate. The game’s structure includes a prologue, three arcs each divided into three chapters, an eight-chapter arc, then three more arcs with three chapters each, followed by another eight-chapter arc. It’s a massive undertaking.

    In reality, it probably took me around 80 hours to progress from the beginning to the end of the main story, but 100 hours seems accurate for a dedicated playthrough. Most players will likely spend between 80 and 100 hours on the main story.

    Main Story + Side Content
    Beyond the main story, there’s a good amount of side content as well. While it adds hours of gameplay, it’s not as abundant as the main storyline, which was clearly the focus in this version of the game.

    One significant addition is the eight-chapter Wishvale restoration arc—extra story material that’s optional but highly recommended. Including this, along with completing every Path Action, side story, battling elite enemies, participating in monster arena events, and exploring all content, can bring the total playtime to around 130 to 150 hours.

    Overall, the primary story makes Octopath Traveler 0 quite lengthy, especially compared to many similar JRPGs. Digging deeply into the world of Orsterra, however, can push the total playtime even further without quite reaching the lengths of some of the longest JRPGs like Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Persona 5 Royal, or Star Ocean: The Last Hope.

  • How Long Does it Take to Solve Hades 2?

    How Long Does it Take to Solve Hades 2?

    Since you’ve likely already played Hades, it’s no surprise that Hades 2 doesn’t finish after just one run. There are two main routes—the surface path and the underworld path—that both need to be completed multiple times. To see the true ending and watch the credits roll, it usually takes about 21 hours to complete all the necessary runs, according to HowLongToBeat. This estimate assumes you don’t get stuck on difficult bosses and focus mainly on the story.

    Most players will probably need several trial runs to learn the boss patterns before they can finish a run for the first time. Each consecutive run tends to be faster, but you’ll still need to complete over 10 runs, switching between surface and underworld routes, to gather all the items you need. While you might skip some of the extra content, it’s likely you’ll enjoy some of it, not just the main story. Overall, most players should expect to spend around 35 to 40 hours to finish everything.

    The time to reach the game’s end can vary based on your skill level and how much extra content you enjoy. The surface and underworld each have their own unique bosses, meaning you’ll need to learn different patterns for each route. This adds a learning curve. Repeated runs will become quicker, but getting all the items requires multiple attempts, usually more than 10 runs.

    Keep in mind that the 21-hour estimate covers only a straightforward playthrough. If you struggle with bosses or want to explore everything, your playtime could easily extend. Most players will likely need a few extra trial runs to master boss patterns, making the total time closer to 35-40 hours on average.

    If you aim for 100% completion, that journey becomes even longer. Expect to spend roughly 133 hours to fully finish the game and reach all the endings, including the extra epilogue content after the credits. Like Zagreus in the original, Melinoe has additional tasks to complete after the game ends, and finishing these is necessary to unlock all the endings and achievements.
