Can I Run Guts and Glory?

Released in 2018, Guts and Glory is an action casual game built by HakJak. Publishing duties went to tinyBuild. The game supports a single player campaign. With more than 1 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Completionists have 30 achievements to work through. Builds exist for macOS and Linux as well as Windows. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. Its 8 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. 10 languages are covered by the store listing.

Why Guts and Glory is demanding

Graphics requirements for Guts and Glory are minimal, with GeForce GTX 750 / Radeon R7 360 named as the bar. It targets DirectX 9.0, an older feature level that almost anything still running will satisfy. The install is small at roughly 6 GB. System memory expectations are modest at 4 GB.

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

Can you run Guts and Glory?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Guts and Glory targets a mainstream modern PC: GeForce GT 650M / Radeon R9 M375 or higher graphics card (see Additional Notes below). and 2 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to GeForce GTX 750 / Radeon R7 360 or higher graphics card (see Additional Notes below). for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable6.54x
1440pComfortable3.68x
4KComfortable1.63x

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.
