What Is Included in Another Eden Begins?

The base game includes the complete first story arc, 19 playable characters, over 100 quests, and New Game+ with 10+ endings. That is what your $39.99 (or $44.99 on Switch 2) buys, and it is a complete package — the DLC sold alongside it adds optional characters, not missing story.

The published walkthrough structures the arc into eight named chapters, from Dawn Rises in Baruoki to Palsifal Palace — useful for pacing expectations, though it is the guide's shape rather than a confirmed in-game chapter count.

What is not included

Being precise about the edges, because this is where buyers get surprised:

• No post-arc story. The mobile game continues far beyond where Begins stops. If you want the ongoing storyline, that is the free mobile title — see the comparison page.
• No DLC characters in the base roster. Character packs Vol. 1–3 add named characters on top of the 19 — see the DLC breakdown. Nothing we verified suggests the base story needs them.
• No mobile version. Steam, Switch and Switch 2 only — see Android & mobile.

Is it worth it at that size?

The honest tension in the reviews: the content volume is large — a reviewer attempting every character quest still finished in under 25 hours — but the side-quest writing is the most common complaint, and the combat depth is optional in practice. The review roundup has the scores (Metacritic 73, Steam 71%), and the playtime page breaks the numbers down.

If you want to sample before paying, the demo is the same build's opening chapters with save carry-over — start there.
