About

"Child of the Wind," released in 2017, is an indie strategy game that invites players to navigate an oriental ship through a captivating tabletop sea. Utilizing hand-fans to manipulate the wind, players steer their vessels while overcoming obstacles, such as whirlpools and enemy ships, all while collecting valuable cargo. This unique gameplay mechanic combined with its beautiful maritime graphics makes it a notable title in the indie game landscape.

For those looking to benchmark "Child of the Wind," the game is quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 9638. With just 4 GB of RAM, players using mid-range hardware will find they can maintain smooth FPS rates across various graphics settings. If you're equipped with a basic gaming rig—think GTX 750 or Radeon R7—experiencing the game's charm without significant performance hitches is very achievable.

If you're a fan of strategy games or unique indie experiences, "Child of the Wind" is worth a play. Its engaging mechanics and delightful aesthetics, coupled with favorable ratings, suggest that it can provide hours of enjoyment without demanding top-tier hardware.

Performance profile

June 2017 release. Child of the Wind was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.

As a strategy title, Child of the Wind 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.

Mid-range territory. An RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT delivers 60 FPS at 1080p High in Child of the Wind. For 1440p Ultra you'll want an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT; 4K Ultra needs an RTX 4070 Ti or faster.
