Strange Brigade: PC requirements and the PC you need

About Strange Brigade

Strange Brigade is a third-person action adventure from Rebellion, set in 1930s Egypt and told with the style of an old adventure serial. A team of four adventurers battles mummies and other monsters raised by an ancient witch queen, solving puzzles, setting off traps and hunting for treasure in tombs. It can be played alone, but it is best with up to three friends in online co-op. The makers recommend a GTX 1070 or RX 570 and 8 GB of memory, so a mid-range gaming PC runs it well.

What Strange Brigade 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 an entry-level graphics card, with 8GB of memory.

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

The gap between the minimum and recommended spec is modest, so a mid-range gaming PC gives a good experience.

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.

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.
