About
Eastward is a charming action-adventure RPG from 2021 that blends exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving with a captivating 90s-inspired pixel art aesthetic. Developed by Shanghai-based indie studio Pixpil, the game follows an unlikely duo escaping an underground society on a journey across a beautifully detailed world. Its combination of engaging storytelling, accessible gameplay, and stunning hand-crafted visuals has earned it an 89/100 rating and made it a standout indie title.
The game is remarkably accessible on modern hardware, requiring just 4 GB of RAM at minimum, making it an excellent benchmark choice for lower-end systems. Most mid-range GPUs will easily maintain 60+ FPS at 1080p with high graphics settings, while even older integrated graphics can handle solid performance at lower resolutions. For performance testing, Eastward is ideal if you're looking to benchmark how entry-level to mid-tier hardware handles 2D-style indie games with polished visuals.
If you enjoy pixel art adventures with RPG elements and a compelling narrative, Eastward deserves a spot in your library. The game's accessibility combined with its critical acclaim makes it a rewarding experience for both casual and dedicated gamers.
Performance profile
Released in September 2021, Eastward 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 Eastward 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 — Eastward 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
In the near-future, society is starting to collapse, and the human population is at an all-time low. A deadly toxic presence has spread across the land, destroying and devouring everything in its path. Those who could escape the miasma flocked to underground villages to start a new life. But for a hardworking miner and a mysterious young girl, the hope of a thriving outside world beckons…
