Summary0028176: Testers: How long did it take you to complete the prologue?
DescriptionIt takes me about 5 minutes when I speed-run it, but I figure if I was being more thorough and reading things and unfamiliar with the game, it would range between 15-45 minutes. Am I right?

37 minutes to the start of Chapter 1, apparently(the creation of the bunker).

Looks like it took around 35 minutes for me

Ant

May 18, 2024 4:14 pm

reporter   ~0068204

Took 1 hr and 21 min. Could have been way faster but I spent my time figuring everything out and reading everything.

Took around 20 minutes.

1 hour and 40 minutes. 40 minutes were spent on turn 1 while I tried to understand the tool tips. 10 minutes of that were me trying to find the rebel (I didn't realize they were out of LOS). The restriction on movement made me think everything important was in LOS.

reporter   ~0068226

40 minutes. This was in part due to me keeping a log of my first impressions, so it likely would've only taken me 30 minutes naturally.

I also agree with Ptarth about the confusion with the rebel, as most people would assume they would be in the lit up area on screen, though only took me 1 minute.

reporter   ~0068266

Roughly 40 minutes, I spent a good amount of time investigating the UI, reading tooltips of things as they became available, and generally looking around the game world.

ZeusAlmighty

manager   ~0068273

About an hour, but at least half of this time was reading tooltips and getting familiar with the controls. I spent at least 15 minutes in the first combat encounter because I was trying to figure out how to approach the battle tactically.

40 minutes (13 turns)

41 minutes to complete the prologue, turn 9

1 hour 50 minutes for me

reporter   ~0068370

About 50 minutes, 15min of which was struggling with the inventory system and trying to equip slayer. I kept clicking on the ability to equip it, instead of the black zone.

"none" should likely be shown where you need to click for the dropdown menu.

I also had trouble finding my others units that early. I ended up going into controls to find the key for swapping between unit.

I tried Tab since that's the standard for tactical turn-based game, but it opens the map instead.

took me about 70 minutes my first time through.

30 minutes, 7 turns

PizzaPope

Little less than an hour, spent a while reading up about everything in the tooltips, and checking out the city and all that.

reporter   ~0068424

Took about 40 minutes for me, and 7 turns (if that matters)

Leximancer

May 21, 2024 12:13 pm

reporter   ~0068431

It took me about an hour, but I was messing around with some of the POIs and just trying to figure out what I could do within the limits of the game. I did end up restarting because I felt like I got stuck, and getting through the prologue that second time took 10 minutes.

Bossman

May 21, 2024 1:47 pm

reporter   ~0068435

It took me about 45 minutes (7 turns). Half of that time is just the first turn because I was trying to read everything and also left the game running while handling a real-life situation.

23 minutes, 10 turns. To complete prologue (building the bunker)

1 hour 25 minutes

Shadow

reporter   ~0068459

40 minutes, half of that was trying to win the combat till I gave up and just let myself die.

arat360

May 21, 2024 9:28 pm

reporter   ~0068475

30 minutes to build the bunker.

Strategic Sage

May 23, 2024 10:30 am

reporter   ~0068536

A little over an hour, and I didn't read as much as I should have. I spent most of the time being confused about how to actually do things (already addressed elsewhere).

There were a few things that were confusing, but I eventually figured it out. Will raise those as issues as appropriate once I figure out how much of what I noticed has already been raised.

Half Phased

May 23, 2024 5:27 pm

reporter   ~0068551

30 minutes to reach the end of the prologue. Most of the time was trying to read things and understand everything.

Darloth

May 23, 2024 6:40 pm

reporter   ~0068553

About 40-45 minutes, wasn't entirely keeping track. I read a lot of things, including things it wasn't suggesting I read yet.

45:32 on the timer when I hit chapter 1

Phase

reporter   ~0068577

It took 36 minutes on the timer for me

ScrObot

May 24, 2024 2:09 am

reporter   ~0068579

Hit chapter 1 on turn 11, 1 hour 50 minutes. I was reading EVERYTHING and got hung up on a few things early on. Also spent some of that time writing notes for bugs/suggestions.

Leximancer

May 24, 2024 3:04 am

reporter   ~0068580

Around an hour.

Bobtree

May 25, 2024 8:57 pm

reporter   ~0068644

About 1.5 hours, including note taking. I subtracted a ~10m phonecall and ~20m wasted trying to force Next Turn before the button was available. I'm usually pretty slow with turn based games.

Nueadkie

May 25, 2024 9:34 pm

55m 47s by turn 9.

reporter   ~0068652

If include the time where I was trying to figure out Investigate skill (it was bugged), it was 1hr 57mins.

Since I spent about 30 minutes trying to figure it out, I reckon normal time is about an 1hr 30mins instead.

nas1m

May 26, 2024 4:22 pm

reporter   ~0068714

1 hour, 48 minutes for me.
Did a lot of reading and noted down some feedback, but mainly this was "game time", looking around at things etc...

Bence Zsigó

May 26, 2024 5:14 pm

reporter   ~0068716

About an hour, though I took my time with it.

B

May 26, 2024 6:50 pm

reporter   ~0068719

one hour fifteen to bunker creation, about 37 minutes until I found the person on the roof. Searching for that person and the first combat took a lot of time.

Jacob Likens

May 27, 2024 2:14 am

35 minutes, skimming most things

strandofgibraltar

reporter   ~0068787

Two and an a half hours counting a few restarts after getting frustrated and taking a break. A lot of it was spent fiddling with settings trying to make it easier to parse what was going on / see where units were. I don't know if I'm actually *done* per se because if I get lost in chapter 1 I might feel the need to play the tutorial again.

Shimaaji

1h 29m

(If you deduct stuff that I wouldn't do outside of testing I'd probably have slightly below 1h when gaming like I usually do.)

Jake Cooper

May 28, 2024 5:29 pm

reporter   ~0068817

1h20m, turn ten. Took my time reading things and healing/getting new licenses after the battle.

AestenD

May 29, 2024 4:51 pm

reporter   ~0068864

probably took me about 1h or so. But that wasn't with full attention on the game. (Kid, dog, game on phone etc)

One hour and 13, but did it very leisurely

Norax

reporter   ~0068883

So tutorial can be finished? :P

Here are my timestamps

Min 9:21 (of my video) I put the android close to the roof to talk with the rebel
Min 12:30 (I read all the tooltips) I equip "the slayer" on my android and add augments
Quest goes from "(Optional) Change your equipment" to "Spread to 4 Androids"
Min 14:15, I zoomed out, show the icons of other androids, ignored them because I was focused on the LoS (Why should I know if there is something there, if I didn't explore it? Did I play too much Starcraft? Maybe.)
Min 26:28, I scrap both androids. I'm given another unit. (Critical Saved triggered) Next turn button unlocked. I jump "next turn" a couple of times. The investigating corpos go away. I fail the mission.
Min 30:04, I recruit an android inside LoS.
Min 33:22, Then 2 more.
Min 37:31, I can't find a safe place and there I stopped playing for that session.

vinco

34 minutes, and my brain's not in great shape today. It took me a bit to realize that I had to go to the far corner of the city map to keep investigating.

Marcelo Mattioli

About 35 minutes.

Daniel Hipsag

About an hour. Made sure to read everything, and explored a bit to make sure I didn't miss anything.

steelwing

About an hour for me, because I was reading ALL the tooltips.

Alterum_1

reporter   ~0068988

About 30 minutes, although I appear to be slow otherwise, taking my time (5 hours in and not past tier two).

Alexander Polyakov

Jun 4, 2024 11:42 am

reporter   ~0068991

About 40 minutes (8 turns?), I was reading everything and looking at all the options.

About 1h20 minutes (turn 9)

easytarget

reporter   ~0069111

Turn 12, 1 hour 25 minutes.

As I drop into the city for the first time with the two units I can control it was not clear to me what to do next with them.

Tab is the natural button I keep pressing to switch between units, it's the space bar. Active unit can be hard to discern location as the city can become pretty cluttered in battle.

Battle activity it'd be nice if there was a way to slow it down so you can see what happened. Currently it all takes place in an instant and you're just left with the results to figure out.

Building bunker stumped me for a bit, I could highlight blue buildings that were possible candidates but couldn't' for the longest time figure out how to actually do it.
