Duskfade is a PS2-inspired action-platformer for fans of classic games like Kingdom Hearts or Jak and Daxter, offering plenty of charming characters to meet, collectibles to find, and enemies to beat up. Whether you’re already planning to dive into this upbeat adventure or want to learn more about it before you do, you should know how long you can expect to spend exploring its world. Here’s how long it takes to beat Duskfade.
How long does it take to beat Duskfade?
An average playthrough of Duskfade on its default difficulty takes around 12-15 hours. This includes beating the campaign while casually searching for some collectibles rather than spending time backtracking to peek into every nook and cranny. However, as with any game with difficulty options, you can get through the game more quickly by bumping the challenge down a notch, or you can add to your playtime by increasing the punishment.
For those seeking to get full completion in Duskfade, though, there’s no shortage of stuff to do that can add quite a few hours of extra time to your total. Completionists will need to find every well-hidden upgrade for the main character’s health and energy bar, as well as track down a variety of other collectibles, such as music boxes, rainbow ingots, and more. You’ll also need to buy everything from the shopkeeper, which will cost a pretty penny.
Additionally, there are various trophies or achievements that ask you to do one-off things. One even requests that you smash all of a certain NPC’s jars. Following through with this might make you a bit of a jerk, but it’s for that sweet 100%, so we get it. There’s no judgement here.
Duskfade is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
