How Long Is COP BASTARD? Campaign Length Explained

About six hours for the story, much more to master it.

COP BASTARD takes around six hours to finish, based on player reports from launch week. That is the campaign length; Endless Mode, Hard difficulty and the challenge achievements push total playtime well beyond a single weekend for players who want to master the game.

How long is COP BASTARD

Campaign length

Player reports converge on roughly six hours for the main story. For a $11.69 corridor shooter, that places it in line with the compact retro shooters it emulates: a complete, paced experience rather than an open-world time investment.

What extends playtime

The six-hour figure is a floor, not a ceiling:

Endless Mode. Score chasing with leaderboards that track both points and deaths.
Challenge achievements. The no-med-kit run, no-damage run and no-slow-motion Osaka run each demand a fresh campaign. See the achievements guide.
Hard difficulty. A second playthrough with tighter margins, per the difficulty guide.

Completionists chasing every achievement should budget several full campaigns beyond the first six hours.

Is six hours enough?

That depends on what you buy the game for. Players praising the launch noted that the density matters more than the length: the combat loop is the product, and the game does not pad it. The price matches the scope, and the price guide covers what is included.
