Can I Run Iron Danger?
Action Squad Studios released Iron Danger in 2020. It is an action adventure game, published by Daedalic Entertainment. The game supports a single player campaign. 11 languages are covered by the store listing. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. The game ships for Windows alone. It carries 541 Steam reviews, a small sample, so first hand performance reports are thin. There are 23 achievements to chase. Its 6 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now.

Setting and environment
Iron Danger places its action in a steampunk world, and the player works through self contained puzzle rooms. It is played in three dimensions. 10 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why Iron Danger is demanding
Iron Danger is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GTX 1060 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Iron Danger. Iron Danger takes about 14 GB of disk space. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. DirectX 12 is named, so Iron Danger expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Iron Danger at the floor and Iron Danger at the recommended tier are not the same experience. At 12 GB, system memory is undemanding.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Iron Danger?
Iron Danger is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA GTX 960 3GB / AMD R9 280 3GB, 8 GB RAM, about 14 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.89x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.06x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.47x |
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.

Each card is compared against Iron Danger's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
