How it plays

It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are action and fantasy. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-6600 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200, 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA GTX 960 / AMD Radeon R9 380 (2–4 GB VRAM). An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
