About

Known for its high-end pixel art and extensive character customization options, the game immerses players in a vibrant world filled with over 200 unique locations and a staggering selection of more than 1000 character sprites. Spanning over 40 hours of gameplay, Bastard Bonds offers an engaging narrative paired with an all-original soundtrack, making it a notable addition to the indie gaming scene.

When considering the PC performance requirements for Bastard Bonds, players will find it relatively accessible. The game can run smoothly on entry-level GPUs with a minimum score of around 400, making it a great choice for budget gamers. With just 4 GB of RAM needed, even lower-end systems can deliver acceptable FPS, especially at moderate graphics settings. For optimal performance, players may want to consider GPUs in the mid-range tier to ensure a more fluid experience during intense tactical encounters.

Should you play Bastard Bonds? With a rating of 68/100 and its unique blend of RPG and strategy elements, it's a solid option for fans of the genre. If you appreciate in-depth character customization and mature storytelling, this game could be well worth your time despite its average rating.

Performance profile

Released in April 2016, Bastard Bonds sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.

As a strategy title, Bastard Bonds 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 — Bastard Bonds 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

"Justice has failed. The criminal, the deranged, the inconvenient, and the uncomfortable; all are cast across the sea to the greedy island of Lukatt, whose shores let nothing slip free. Whether sinner or saint, you are one of these outcasts, and it is there, in a dark cell on the cold shore of that island, where you will finally cut fate's throat and take control of your own future. Gather a band of the criminal and the forgotten, forgive their transgressions or ostracize them, use them as workhorses or nurture their trust, slaughter your enemies or spare them, release the conquered or press them into service. Find a way to escape the inescapable, or find a way to bend it to your will."
