About

Cartographers, released in 2020, is a notable indie tactical strategy game set in the beloved Roll Player universe. This innovative flip & write game invites players to engage with its fast-paced mechanics and competitive elements, making it a unique entry in the genre. With three different game modes featuring varying degrees of randomness, players can challenge friends and rivals while striving to become the most legendary cartographer of all time.

In terms of PC performance, Cartographers is relatively accessible, making it suitable for a wide range of hardware. To achieve a smooth performance and decent FPS, you'll want a system with at least an entry-level GPU, as the minimum requirements suggest a GPU score of around 1500. A setup with 4 GB of RAM is also necessary to ensure optimal performance, allowing players to adjust graphics settings for a more refined experience without major performance hits.

If you enjoy strategy and tactical games, Cartographers comes highly recommended, especially for fans of the genre looking for a fresh take. Its engaging gameplay and competitive weekly high score lists make it a worthy addition to any PC gamer's library, promising hours of fun and challenge.

Performance profile

Released in August 2020, Cartographers 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.

As a strategy title, Cartographers 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 — Cartographers 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

Queen Gimnax has ordered the reclamation of the northern lands. As a cartographer in her service, you are sent to map this territory, claiming it for the Kingdom of Nalos. Through official edicts, the queen announces which lands she prizes most, and you will increase your reputation by meeting her demands. But you are not alone in this wilderness. The Dragul contest your claims with their outposts, so you must draw your lines carefully to reduce their influence. Reclaim the greatest share of the queen's desired lands and you will be declared the greatest cartographer in the kingdom.
