It is a common complaint among a lot of experienced DCSS players that the game is too long. I have 10 wins under my belt and I stopped playing mostly for this reason. About half way through the game your victory is essentially guaranteed. I disagree about the early game though, this is the most exciting part of DCSS, and the hardest.
