Can I Run Burst?

Released in 2016, Burst is an action role playing game built by BANDAI NAMCO Studio. Publishing duties went to BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. There are 47 achievements to chase. Over 3 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card. Steam lists support for 6 languages. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. The game ships for Windows alone.

Setting and environment

The game is set in an anime styled world. Play is structured around one continuous open world. The publisher supplies 5 storefront screenshots of these environments. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Burst has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. Play is presented from a third person view.

Why Burst is demanding

Burst takes about 15 GB of disk space. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. The DirectX requirement is undemanding, at version 9.0.

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