About

"Children of a Dead Earth," released in 2016, is a hard-science-fiction space strategy game that challenges players to delve into realistic space warfare. With a focus on scientific accuracy, the game not only captures the complexities of space combat but also the strategic depth required to succeed. Its unique approach to simulation makes it notable among strategy enthusiasts and science fiction fans alike.

When it comes to PC performance, "Children of a Dead Earth" is relatively accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 96 to enjoy reasonable FPS. The minimum RAM requirement is set at 2 GB, allowing users with basic setups to play without significant issues. Players looking to optimize their gaming experience should consider upgrading to a mid-tier GPU for improved performance and enhanced graphics settings, which can lead to a smoother gameplay experience.

Given its solid rating of 80/100, "Children of a Dead Earth" is certainly worth a try for fans of simulation and strategy genres.

Performance profile

Released in September 2016, Children of a Dead Earth 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, Children of a Dead Earth 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 — Children of a Dead Earth 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

After Earth was consumed by a runaway greenhouse effect, humanity took to the nearby planets. Now, conflict brews between two major factions, the United Sol Trade Alliance and the Republic of the Free People.
