Can I Run City Of Brass?
Released in 2018, City Of Brass is an action indie game built by Uppercut Games Pty Ltd. It offers a single player campaign. At 8 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Its Metacritic score stands at 69. Cloud saves are enabled. The game ships for Windows alone. Steam lists support for 14 languages. It carries 757 Steam reviews, a small sample, so first hand performance reports are thin. Completionists have 54 achievements to work through.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a fantasy world. Play is structured around runs that rebuild the layout each attempt. The publisher supplies 11 storefront screenshots of these environments. Play is presented from a first person view. Because the game assembles its spaces as it goes, the cost lands on the CPU in bursts rather than steadily on the GPU.
Why City Of Brass is demanding
City Of Brass is undemanding on the graphics side. Its GeForce GTX 770 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear City Of Brass. The install is small at roughly 4 GB. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding. City Of Brass calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. A 64 bit version of Windows is required.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run City Of Brass?
City Of Brass targets a mainstream modern PC: GeForce GTX 550 or Equivalent card and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to GeForce GTX 770 or Equivalent card 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 | 3.27x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 1.84x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.82x |
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.
