There are many underrated Soulslike games in the world, and Ashen is certainly one of them. However, while it can be compared to the Dark Souls' titles in terms of combat, it's very different in many other areas. For instance, Ashen is much shorter than those FromSoftware games.

Yet, that doesn't mean it's only a small adventure. In fact, the game manages to feel like a substantial journey without ever overstaying its welcome. But how long is it exactly?

However, you’ll likely find yourself wanting to explore the beautiful open world a little. Maybe you'll hunt some creatures or complete a few side journeys. If so, your playthrough might be closer to 19 hours long, which is the average length for a typical player.

100% Completion Run

Getting 100 percent completion in Ashen is very doable. While there's certainly plenty of optional content in the game, it's not going to take you 100+ hours to do it all. Instead, a full completionist run takes about 26 hours. Perhaps the length will stretch into the over 30-hour range if you take your time.

When talking about the games with the best DLCs of all time, Ashen isn't likely to come up. However, it has a strong expansion in the form of the Nightstorm Isle. During the DLC, the protagonist ventures to a new and dangerous land.

To complete Nightstorm Isle's main story, you need around 2 hours of spare time. And to complete everything in the expansion, you require about 3 hours. HowLongToBeat hasn't been able to gather many completion times for the DLC, so those numbers may not be quite exact.
