About ASKA
ASKA is a Viking survival and colony-building game from Sand Sailor Studio, set in a mythic open world. You start with nothing, gather resources and build a settlement, then recruit villagers who take on jobs and help it grow, while defending against monsters and surviving harsh seasons. It can be played alone or in online co-op with friends. It is still in Early Access. Even the makers' minimum is a GTX 1660 or RX 590 with 16 GB of memory, so a mid-range gaming PC is a sensible starting point.
What ASKA needs
In plain words: to play at all it needs a mid-range graphics card from a few years ago, with at least 16GB of memory.

Will my computer play ASKA?
On most computers we find the graphics card for you. Add your processor and memory, and we will tell you if it plays, and what to upgrade if not.
A low-spec PC or a high-spec PC?
On a PC that only just meets the minimum, the game will start and play, but on low settings: simpler shadows and textures, shorter view distances and fewer frames each second, so fast moments can feel less smooth. A 1080p screen is the sensible match.
On a PC that meets or beats the recommended spec, you can turn the settings up: sharper textures, proper shadows and lighting, more detail in the distance, and a smoother picture. A stronger PC also lets you use a sharper 1440p or high-refresh screen.
