This article provides information on how much playing time or content is in the game Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX on the Nintendo Switch. If you want to know if you are getting your money's worth or just want to gauge how much time you will be spending on the game, this is for you.

Main Storyline

Initial Dungeons

The pre-Fugitive Arc dungeons aren't really a challenge. It is where you climb the ropes of the game and get familiar with everything. If you are focused enough and depending on how much you grind, you can finish this arc in around eight (8) hours.

Fugitive Arc

This is where the game gets a bit tough. Players might fail the dungeons alot here. For many of us, we will be needing to get levels and supplies by going through Rock Path and Snow Path multiple times.

Including possible failures, leveling and supplies runs, this arc might take up to ten (10) hours.

Post Fugitive Arc

This is the final stretch of the main storyline, players should use all of their Dojo Tickets in this stage. Considering you are well prepared for all the dungeons in this arc, it might take you sixteen (16) hours.

Main Storyline Content Length

Depending on your efficiency, focus and maybe luck, the Main Storyline might take you around thirty-two (32) hours.
