If youāre in the mood for a dark fantasy RPG, Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree offers a grim and challenging 2.5D Soulslike experience with a lot of meat on its bones. Are you wondering just how much meat, though? Well, letās take a look at how long it takes to beat Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree
As with many Soulslike titles, Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree offers a lengthy campaign that will take more than a sitting or two to wrap upāI mean, unless youāre planning to sit for dozens of hours, which Iād highly recommend against for your own health.
While skilled players can push through the game and see the credits roll more quickly than completionists, youāll miss a ton of worthwhile optional material by just mainlining the core fantasy adventure. Not to mention that Iād be disappointed in you.
It takes quite a while to accomplish everything in Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree. Opting to complete the entire trophy or achievement list will require you to spend hours working toward reaching level 100, unlocking all bestiary information, claiming all bounties, and even petting every cat in the game. Thatās before factoring in the need to collect every weapon, ring, and diagram. Oh, yeah, and youāll have to kill 10,000 enemies. No biggie.
Doing all of this, as well as fulfilling a variety of other requirements, will take dedicated players 40+ hours. That sounds like quite an undertaking, but for anyone who loves the dopamine rush that comes from knowing youāve truly done it all (or, ya know, hearing the ding of a platinum trophy), it might just be worth the time investment!
Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows PCs.
