Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga is a tactical RPG with a retro style that is a throwback to the early days of Fire Emblem, Ogre Battle, Langrisser, and Sega's Shining Force. The 16-bit visuals hide a deep RPG with complex systems and replayable quests.
The tactical RPG is currently available on Steam with the possibility of a Switch and Xbox Live port sometime in the future. Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga should last the average player around 30-40 hours for one playthrough. However, that does not consider that the game is non-linear, offering a different experience every time.
How Long Is Symphony Of War?
According to data compiled by How Long To Beat, Symphony of War: The NephilimSaga appears to take most players around 34 1/2 hours to complete. The information listed supposedly covers both the main story, the extra content, and a completist's playthrough.
However, for now, the information doesn't go into the replayable content and optional Gaiden Quests. Like Tactics Ogre and Ogre Battle, the non-linear nature of Symphony of War will mean that completists will want to play the game at least twice as it offers vastly different experiences. Symphony of War can potentially provide many players with at least 70 hours of gameplay.

The Optional Gaiden Chapters
In addition to the main campaign, Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga has optional side quest chapters called Gaiden Chapters. These side battles will become available from Chapter 20 onwards.
