Around 3 hours 35 minutes to beat with the good ending. I beat the game on my fourth full attempt of getting to the end. The final boss form requires you to land a single shot, if you fuck up you get sent back to beginning of the game (40-60 minutes to get back there).This tutorial version breaks down what I did to beat the game.
I got the bad ending after 59 minutes of playing, which I posted up. However that ending doesnt show the credits and it sends you back to the beginning of the game. Since I cant read japanese I was unsure what was going on. Normally I dont care about good or bad endings in games but for this game I would consider the good ending as a requirement for beating the game, like the ghouls N ghosts games. Check out the unedited playthrough without commentary if interested as well. That version shows all deaths. This version is for demonstration and areas where I died heavily are edited down.
