Can I Run Battle Squadron?
Released in 2018, Battle Squadron is an action indie game built by Atomic Jelly. The game supports a single player campaign. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. It is localised into 7 languages according to the store listing. Completionists have 51 achievements to work through. Being 8 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. The game ships for Windows alone. Its 355 Steam reviews make it a niche release rather than a widely tested one.

Setting and environment
Battle Squadron places its action in the Second World War, and the player works through open airspace. It is played from a first person view. 28 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why Battle Squadron is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Battle Squadron. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 580 Series scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Battle Squadron within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Battle Squadron at the floor and Battle Squadron at the recommended tier are not the same experience. The install is small at roughly 10 GB. Battle Squadron needs only 8 GB of RAM. Battle Squadron needs only 4 GB of video memory.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Battle Squadron?
Battle Squadron is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 or AMD Radeon R9 270X with 2GB VRAM or more, 4 GB RAM, about 10 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
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.89x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.06x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.47x |
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.

Each card is compared against Battle Squadron's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
