The optimization is excellent, but maintaining a rock-solid framerate during effect-heavy, chaotic combat requires at least a solid mid-range rig.
For 1080p, even a modern entry-level gaming PC borders on overkill.If your only goal is to run this game, you can easily cobble together a dirt-cheap rig using used hardware.

The Game's Verdict: Recommended Specs & Grade
The biggest catch with this game is its awkward 2023 release window—it dropped right on the eve of the upscaling and frame generation revolution.
While the engine itself is shockingly lightweight given the visual fidelity, this is exactly the kind of fast-paced title that makes you crave higher resolutions and framerates. Since you can't fall back on DLSS or FSR to bail you out, pushing those higher metrics strictly demands a dGPU with serious raw rasterization muscle.
On the flip side, taking that "modern magic" out of the equation makes hardware selection refreshingly straightforward. Want a serious, high-fidelity experience? You need a solid mid-range rig. Just want to play casually? A budget setup will get the job done. The hardware scaling is as honest as it gets.
