About

New Cycle, set to release in 2024, is an intriguing indie simulation strategy game that invites players to rebuild civilization following an apocalyptic solar flare. As you guide your House from humble beginnings to a thriving metropolis, players must navigate the complexities of resource management and community building, all while focusing on the philosophy of creating “a future beyond survival.” The game's unique premise and engaging gameplay mechanics make it a noteworthy addition to the early access genre.

In terms of PC performance, New Cycle is designed to be accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 6,138 and a CPU score of approximately 4,064. Players should consider GPUs such as the NVIDIA GTX 1050 or AMD Radeon RX 560 for decent performance at 30 to 60 FPS with medium graphics settings. With a minimum of 8 GB of RAM, the hardware requirements allow a variety of gaming rigs to experience the game's rich environments and strategic depth without demanding too much from your system.

If you're a fan of simulation and strategy games, New Cycle is worth trying, especially with its engaging gameplay and potential for deep societal interaction. While it’s still in early access, initial impressions from players have been positive, indicating that this title could become a standout in the indie gaming scene.

Performance profile

January 2024 release. As a current-generation title, New Cycle pushes modern hardware — expect to need an RTX 40-series or RX 7000-series GPU to enjoy it at native 4K Ultra without leaning on upscaling.

As a strategy title, New Cycle 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.

Mid-range territory. An RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT delivers 60 FPS at 1080p High in New Cycle. For 1440p Ultra you'll want an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT; 4K Ultra needs an RTX 4070 Ti or faster.

Storyline

New Cycle is set in the year 2073, after a series of solar flares deprived the world of all its technological advancements in the year 2034. The player must advance and manage a community of survivors who are looking for a way out of the chaos that civilization has been plunged into for the last four decades, while contending with the deteriorated, hostile atmosphere.
