About
Crying Suns is a tactical rogue-lite strategy game released in 2019 that puts you in command of a space fleet exploring a mysteriously fallen empire. Heavily inspired by sci-fi classics like Dune and Foundation, the game combines turn-based tactical combat with a rich narrative that gradually uncovers the truth about your character and the empire itself. As an indie strategy title, it emphasizes storytelling and decision-making over flashy visuals.
Crying Suns is highly accessible from a performance standpoint, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a score around 1174 and 4GB of RAM to run. The game's 2D art style means you'll easily maintain high FPS on modest hardware, making it suitable for benchmark testing on budget configurations. Even older GPUs will handle this title comfortably, so performance optimization isn't a primary concern for most players.
With a user rating of 59/100, Crying Suns offers a solid experience for strategy enthusiasts who appreciate narrative-driven gameplay over AAA production values. If you enjoy tactical decision-making and science fiction storytelling, it's worth exploring despite its middling critical reception.
Performance profile
September 2019 release. Crying Suns 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, Crying Suns 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 — Crying Suns 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 700 years of peace and prosperity, the Galactic Empire has suddenly been shattered into pieces. The OMNIs, god-like machines which did everything for their human masters, have mysteriously shut down. And humankind, having long since lost the ability to survive on its own, is dangerously close to extinction. But somewhere in a far corner of the Galaxy is Gehenna, a planet of ice and rock and a top-secret facility that is the pinnacle of Imperial Tech and also humanity’s last chance. You are a clone of Admiral Ellys Idaho, a weapon fashioned from flesh, the best Imperial Admiral ever to battle in the stars and you have just been awoken on this planet by its strange and darkly-humorous Guardian, Kaliban, the last functional OMNI to exist. Your mission: skillfully command a battleship through the Empire's now chaotic, violent clusters ––where one wrong move could be your last–– as you try to reactivate the OMNIs and save the future of all humankind. But you must leave Gehenna now.... for time has almost run out.
