Can I Run Darksburg?
Darksburg is an action indie game from Shiro Games, released in 2020. Shiro Games both developed and published it. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Its Steam review count passes 1 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Metacritic places it at 61. There are 69 achievements to chase. At 6 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own.

Setting and environment
Darksburg places its action in an outbreak scenario, and the player works through runs that rebuild the layout each attempt. The view is from a top down view. Generating a fresh layout every run is processor work, so a weak CPU shows up as a pause between areas. 8 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why Darksburg is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Darksburg. GeForce GTX 950 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Darksburg within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. The DirectX requirement is undemanding, at version 10. The install is small at roughly 2 GB. Darksburg needs only 4 GB of RAM.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Darksburg?
Darksburg targets a mainstream modern PC: GeForce GTX 690 and 2 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to GeForce GTX 950 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 | 4.05x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.28x |
| 4K | Borderline | 1.01x |
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.
