Can I Run Children of Morta?
Released in 2019, Children of Morta is an action adventure game built by Dead Mage. Publishing duties went to 11 bit studios. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. With more than 17 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Completionists have 45 achievements to work through. Critics scored it 82 on Metacritic. Being 7 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. It is not Windows only, with macOS and Linux covered too. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. It keeps shared screen play alive, so a second player needs only a second controller. Steam lists support for 13 languages.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a fantasy world, moving through runs that rebuild the layout each attempt. Generating a fresh layout every run is processor work, so a weak CPU shows up as a pause between areas. Play is presented in two dimensions. There are 13 official screenshots to judge the look from.
Why Children of Morta is demanding
Children of Morta is undemanding on the graphics side. Its GeForce 960, Radeon RX 570 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Children of Morta. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. Children of Morta takes about 2 GB of disk space. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. Children of Morta 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 Children of Morta?
Children of Morta targets a mainstream modern PC: GeForce GTX 660, Radeon R7 370 or equivalent with 2 GB of video RAM and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to GeForce 960, Radeon RX 570 or equivalent with 4GB of video RAM for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 2.07x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.17x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.52x |
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.
