It is single player. It is rated PEGI 12. It runs on modest hardware, so any of our gaming PCs plays it perfectly.

Will my computer play Valiant Hearts: The Great War™ / Soldats Inconnus : Mémoires de la Grande Guerre™?
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?
This is a light game: almost any of our gaming PCs will run it comfortably at high settings.
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.
Our PCs that meet the recommended spec
These should play Valiant Hearts: The Great War™ / Soldats Inconnus : Mémoires de la Grande Guerre™ well. Cheapest first.
