The estimated time to complete Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince is roughly about 25 to 50 hours in general.

Playtime Extended When Optimizing Monsters

The more time spent creating A-Rank or S-Rank Monsters during the early to mid game, the longer it will take to beat the game.

One member of our playtesting team solidified their party with powerful S-Rank Monsters before clearing the main campaign, and as a result, it took about approximately 50 hours of playtime to finish.

What Is the Playtime After Finishing the Game

There Is a Secret Boss That Takes About 5 Hours

The player can spend approximately 5 hours of additional play time after finishing the game to challenge a secret boss.

As this is a post-game boss, please note that the time will vary depending on the level and power of your Monsters. This boss is difficult, so prepare accordingly!
