About

Released in 2016, Link is an indie RPG strategy game that blends roguelike elements into a unique gaming experience. Set on a hostile arctic planet, players take control of a group of soldiers striving to survive in harsh conditions until rescue arrives. The game’s focus on strategic decision-making and resource management makes it notable among its genre, providing an engaging narrative that keeps players on their toes.

When considering PC performance for Link, it's quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 134 for optimal gameplay. With just 1 GB of RAM, even older hardware can handle this title without struggle. Players can expect solid FPS at lower graphics settings, making it a good option for those using budget-friendly systems. If you’re looking for a game that won’t demand the latest GPU technology, Link fits the bill perfectly.

Given its decent rating of 77/100 and engaging gameplay, Link is definitely worth playing for fans of the indie and RPG genres. Its strategic depth combined with roguelike elements offers a refreshing challenge that can deliver hours of entertainment, making it a solid choice for gamers seeking a new experience.

Performance profile

Released in April 2016, Link 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, Link 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 — Link 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.
