About

"A Virus Named Tom," released in 2012, is an engaging action-puzzler that blends strategy and indie gameplay. Players rearrange circuits to spread a virus while dodging pesky anti-virus drones, creating a unique and dynamic gaming experience. Its co-op mode allows up to four players to collaborate, while the battle mode lets friends compete against each other, offering a fun twist on traditional puzzle games.

In terms of PC performance, "A Virus Named Tom" is not particularly demanding, making it accessible for a wide range of systems. An entry-level GPU with a minimum benchmark score of around 300 is sufficient to run the game smoothly. Players can expect decent FPS even on basic setups, making it an excellent choice for casual gamers who want to enjoy fun puzzle gameplay without the need for high-end graphics.

While the game received a lukewarm rating of 45/100, fans of the action and strategy genres may still find value in its cooperative gameplay and competitive modes. If you enjoy indie titles that encourage teamwork and a little rivalry, "A Virus Named Tom" could be worth your time, especially if you're running a less powerful PC.

Performance profile

August 2012 release. A Virus Named Tom targets mid-2000s-to-early-2010s hardware — any modern entry-level GPU (GTX 1650 tier or newer integrated graphics) handles it at 1080p Ultra without breaking a sweat.

As a strategy title, A Virus Named Tom is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.

Extremely light — A Virus Named Tom runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

A perfect place. A city without traffic. A dog that doesn't poop. All products of the brilliant mind of Dr. X, but hell hath no fury like a mad scientist fired by a giant corporation. In this unique action-puzzler you take control of TOM, a virus created for one purpose: revenge.
