The campaign can be beat in around 3 hours and perhaps a little bit more if you decided to go for all Elf weapon parts which I did, taking me slightly less than 5 hours.
Overall, this is a good expansion game since it continues the story and expands the characters a bit more, it introduces new mechanics to the combat system (in this case the power of light which was fun to use), and it introduces new types of enemies and allies that are quite interesting and more animated than the ones you meet in the main game (albeit a bit over the top and ridiculous such as the "Architect"). As far as difficulty, this feels more challenging than the main game since most missions focus on captain battles which is great since I prefer the "straight to the point" approach and battle right away.
If you enjoyed the main game, this expansion is definitely worth checking out.
