Can I Run B.O.T.S. and the Robofriends?

B.O.T.S. and the Robofriends is an action indie game from Game Grotto Softworks, released in 2020. Game Grotto Softworks both developed and published it. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. There are 31 achievements to chase. Being 6 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Two players can share one screen on a single machine, which is rare enough now to be worth noting. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe.

Setting and environment

Players spend their time in a science fiction setting, moving through layouts the game generates fresh each time. Layouts generated at run time move the load onto the processor at the moment each new area is built. It is played from a top down view. The publisher supplies 5 storefront screenshots of these environments.

Why B.O.T.S. and the Robofriends is demanding

Very little is asked of the GPU by B.O.T.S. and the Robofriends. GeForce GTX 970 / AMD Radeon R9 390 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting B.O.T.S. and the Robofriends within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. The install is small at roughly 6 GB. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so B.O.T.S. and the Robofriends at the floor and B.O.T.S. and the Robofriends at the recommended tier are not the same experience. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run B.O.T.S. and the Robofriends?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

B.O.T.S. and the Robofriends is light on hardware. Its minimum, GeForce GTX 770 / AMD Radeon R7 260, 4 GB RAM, about 6 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable2.18x
1440pRuns well1.23x
4KBelow the bar0.54x

A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
