About

To run Bound By Blades effectively, a minimum GPU like the GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT is recommended. This ensures a playable experience at 1080p with medium settings, making the game quite accessible for budget-conscious gamers. Players with these entry-level GPUs can expect smooth performance without significant frame rate drops, even in more intense moments of gameplay.

For those with mid-range GPUs such as the GTX 1660 or RX 5600 XT, targeting high settings at 1080p is feasible and will enhance the visual experience significantly. Gamers with more powerful setups, like the RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT, can easily push for 1440p resolution with high settings, allowing for a more immersive adventure in the beautifully crafted world. Overall, Bound By Blades is designed to be forgiving on hardware, making it a great choice for those looking for engaging gameplay without needing the latest and greatest GPU.

Performance profile

Released in November 2022, Bound By Blades 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 Bound By Blades 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 — Bound By Blades 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

War for supremacy raged on for generations between the different tribes of Ashmyr. Until one day, an ancient force was unleashed that shook the world and granted those nearby immense power. But this power came at a high cost. It took their minds and corrupted their bodies, leaving only a ruthless fiend in their place. They became known as the Ilcyon, slaughtering armies and obliterating towns as they ravaged the lands, leaving Ashmyr in peril. Until a new path to hope was formed by a lone warrior. He united the tribes for the sake of survival against the Ilcyon and began a new order, The Bound. Only those proven through years of harsh training were initiated.
