Can I Run Battleblock Theater?
Battleblock Theater is an action adventure game from The Behemoth, released in 2014. The Behemoth both developed and published it. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. It is localised into 11 languages according to the store listing. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. Builds exist for macOS as well as Windows. Cloud saves are enabled. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card. Completionists have 30 achievements to work through. Critics scored it 85 on Metacritic. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. Split screen on one PC is supported, a feature most releases have quietly dropped. Its Steam review count passes 55 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now.
