About

"Above the Skies," released in 2021, is an indie RPG that invites players to step into the role of Dylan, the captain of The Eagle and protector of his village. As he embarks on a quest to find the fabled Grail and stave off the impending Falls, players experience a rich narrative filled with exploration and personal stakes. The game's charming aesthetic and engaging storyline contribute to its appeal within the indie gaming community.

When it comes to PC performance, "Above the Skies" is designed to be accessible, making it suitable for a wide range of hardware. With a minimum GPU requirement of an entry-level graphic card (minimum score ~300), gamers can expect smooth FPS even on budget systems. For optimal performance, players should target GPUs in the mid-tier range, allowing for enhanced graphics settings without sacrificing frame rates.

If you're a fan of RPGs and are looking for a heartfelt story, "Above the Skies" is worth your time. With its engaging gameplay and positive reception from gamers, it offers a rewarding experience that fits well within the indie genre.

Performance profile

Released in September 2021, Above the Skies targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.

RPGs like Above the Skies stress VRAM during long sessions — texture streaming, mods and open-world traversal inflate memory use over time. 8 GB VRAM is a practical floor; 12 GB+ is worth the headroom at 1440p and above.

Extremely light — Above the Skies 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.
