How is this game re: replay-ability?

I looked at the webpage for the game and it looks interesting. In the FAQ it said that there are 10 quests and each quest should take 60-90 minutes, so that's 10-15 hours of play time. But do the missions play out differently on subsequent iterations? Or does each play through the same mission play out the same way? It's a lot of money for a game i can only play once, no matter how much fun it is.

I'm biased but for us internally, there is a LOT of replayability. The same mission plays out differently based upon the command cards your dealt, the strategic choices you make, the schematics you bring in, the damage you take, and even the players you play with. Additionally, completing the game unlocks new content that can change how you approach past missions.

Separately, if you want to put on your design cap, the boards and pieces are all modular, so if you wanted to make (and or share!) your own campaigns you absolutely could. Granted it would be more work to make something fun, but the tools are all there.

Replayability is definitely high in this one. Since one of the Game's core mechanics is not being able to move or get rid of placed cards (to my knowledge) then it makes every scenario much different simply depending on your starting moves.

ALso, they stated there are varying levels of difficulty (3 i believe) so this will also be different ways to play through the game.

Even tho it is mission based, board games like this tend to play out different every time so don't fear to much about it!

When I started laying League, I thought, what? just one map? Same mission every time? How can that stay fresh and interesting? Well, seems like people also feel similarly about this board game, but look at it being played in some videos and there are so many variables that come into each play, it might feel very different from one time to the other.
