Can I Run Dungeon Defenders: Awakened?
Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is an action adventure game from Chromatic Games, released in 2020. Chromatic Games both developed and published it. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. There are 95 achievements to chase. Two players can share one screen on a single machine, which is rare enough now to be worth noting. Its Steam review count passes 3 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Steam lists support for 7 languages. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Its Metacritic score stands at 74. At 6 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones.

Why Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Dungeon Defenders: Awakened. Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 or AMD RX 470 scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Dungeon Defenders: Awakened within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Dungeon Defenders: Awakened needs 64 bit Windows. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Dungeon Defenders: Awakened scales hard with the hardware you give it. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. The install is small at roughly 30 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Dungeon Defenders: Awakened?
Older hardware holds up here: Dungeon Defenders: Awakened runs on modest graphics, with Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 or AMD Radeon HD 8760 enough to meet the minimum. Add 4 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
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.
