Mechabellum: PC requirements and the PC you need

About Mechabellum

Mechabellum is a strategy auto-battler from Game River where huge armies of mechs and war machines fight it out. Between rounds you pick units, upgrade them and arrange your formation, then watch the battle play out in 3D, so planning matters more than fast clicking. You can play one against one, in teams of two, in a free-for-all or in a survival mode, online or against the computer. It includes in-game purchases. The makers recommend an RTX 2080 or RX 6700 XT and 16 GB of memory, so a stronger graphics card helps for the biggest battles.

What Mechabellum needs

In plain words: to play at all it needs almost any graphics, even the graphics built into the processor, and to play it well the makers suggest a modern mid-range graphics card, with 16GB of memory.

A low-spec PC or a high-spec PC?

For this game the gap between the minimum and the recommended spec is big, so a better PC makes a very noticeable difference.

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.

Questions about Mechabellum on PC

How we match: we compare the graphics card and the memory in each PC with the makers' spec, because those decide most of how a game runs. For very new or demanding games, ask us and we will check the processor too. More help: graphics cards explained, how much RAM, which screen.
