What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Core 2 Duo, 3 GB RAM and SM3 512MB VRAM. At 3GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 1GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Death Squared launched on 13 March 2017, within three weeks of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Horizon Zero Dawn, Mass Effect: Andromeda and NieR: Automata. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Horizon Zero Dawn, Mass Effect: Andromeda, NieR: Automata.
