The player reporting this length noted that they are familiar with the real-time strategy genre, which may have reducedGears Tactics' length compared to that which will take a less familiar player to complete. Further, the report noted that additional endgame activities may result in an ultimate completion time of 30 hours or longer.
to reach the 100% completion of the game, players may be spending a considerably greater amount of time. As playthroughs on higher difficulty levels are required for the task, the game could take up to over 90 hours to complete at 100%.
