About
Impire, released in 2013, is a strategy game that puts players in control of the demon Báal-Abaddon as he seeks to restore his former glory. The game combines elements of dungeon management and real-time strategy, allowing you to build an evil lair filled with a variety of creatures and spells to thwart the pesky heroes of Ardania. Its unique blend of construction and tactical gameplay sets it apart, appealing to fans of dark fantasy and strategy genres.
Despite its charming visuals and engaging mechanics, Impire is not particularly demanding in terms of hardware. It requires an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 96, making it accessible for players on a budget. You should aim for a setup that includes at least a CPU with a score of 154 and 3 GB of RAM to ensure smooth performance. Players can expect reasonable FPS even on lower settings, making it easy to enjoy the game across different PC setups.
Though Impire has received a mixed rating of 50/100, strategy enthusiasts may find value in its quirky premise and gameplay mechanics. If you appreciate the blend of dungeon-building and tactical warfare, it could be worth a try, especially if you're looking for a lighter, accessible title in the strategy genre. However, those seeking more polished experiences may want to explore other options.
Performance profile
Released in February 2013, Impire 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, Impire 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 — Impire 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
Deep in the underworld of Ardania, a threat of the most evil nature grows and multiplies with an appetite for destruction that is unsurpassed. Summoned from the depths of the Bottomless Pit, the (once) mighty Báal-Abaddon has been torn from his throne of skulls and imprisoned in an earthly body of less-than-imposing stature (he's an Imp, OK?) to serve the none-too-competent sorcerer Oscar van Fairweather. But unfortunately for Fairweather, the luck of the damned is on Báal's side and he soon breaks free to build his own dark and majestic... Impire.
