Shin Megami Tensei 3 Nocturne has re-released as an HD Remaster for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC. SMT 3 Nocturne is notorious for being one of the more difficult titles in the series, however, Atlus has kindly added in a Merciful difficulty as free DLC for anyone wanting to simply enjoy the storyline.
SMT 3 Nocturne takes place in a post-apocalyptic demonic Tokyo and has plenty of optional content for players to explore if they wish, with multiple endings on offer depending on your choices in the game. So how long is it going to take you to beat SMT 3 Nocturne?
How Long To Beat SMT 3 Nocturne HD Remaster?
When it comes to playing SMT 3 Nocturne, you'll be playing one of two ways; looking to complete the storyline or looking to 100% everything and achieve the True Demon Ending.
Just below is a breakdown of how long you can expect to be playing for either a storyline completion or full completion playthrough, with the variables depending on the difficulty mode used.
- Main Story Completion: 40-50 hours
- 100% Completion: 80-90 hours
