The premise, in the publisher's words
In the near future, an experimental attempt to harness the power of the Earth’s core ends in a terrifying disaster: the release of the Sludge God. This eldritch abomination begins terraforming the area, turning soil to scum and the living to undead monsters. Luckily, the genius behind the experiment has a plan to make things right. All he needs is a team of competent, highly trained mercenaries to get the job done. … Unfortunately, they were all too expensive. Which is why he’s hired… The Toxic Commandos.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for AMD Ryzen 5 1500X / Intel Core i5-8400, 16 GB RAM and AMD Radeon RX 580 / Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 58GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
