The length of roguelikes can be pretty deceiving, and Ravenswatch is no different. Much like Hades, completing a run is far from the end of the game and everything there is to see. There are new difficulties to try and new bosses to fight once you complete your first run.

Roguelikes are tough: optimal builds, staying alive, and beating difficult bosses. These games prove it’s better if you play with a friend!
However, the main mechanic of Ravenswatch does impact how long you’re able to spend with the game. Each chapter has a time limit of 18 minutes, so you can’t spend hours wandering around each chapter. You have to pick and choose what you see and where you explore.
How Long Does It Takes To Beat Ravenswatch?
Completing a single run of Ravenswatch with one character takes between six and nine hours according to How Long To Beat. That includes running through the main story and ignoring most of the extra content. Of course, how long it takes will change depending on how much you struggle with the game’s combat and how often you die to the chapter bosses. However, the initial run is only the start.
There are eight characters to play as in Ravenswatch, each with their own progression, so you can choose to complete a run with each of them.
In total, a run features three full chapters and the epilogue.
For the main story and all of the extras, you’re looking at spending 16-20 hours with Ravenswatch.
How Long Does It Take To 100 Percent?
However, there’s still more to complete after that. There are four different difficulty levels in Ravenswatch, with each one unlocking after you complete a run on the previous difficulty.
The difficulties aren’t there for just a challenge either. Completing the game on higher difficulties grants you new rewards and you’ll encounter new story content in those new runs.
Therefore, if you’re planning to complete the story with all the characters and beat a run on each of the four difficulties, you can expect to spend upwards of 35 hours with Ravenswatch.
The higher difficulties are very tough, so there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to complete a run using those settings.
