About
Per Aspera, released in 2020, is a narrative-driven strategy game that immerses players in the complex task of terraforming Mars. Blending elements of indie gameplay with simulation and strategy, this title invites you to explore the Martian landscape, gather crucial resources, and make impactful decisions that reflect the rigorous challenges of interplanetary expansion. Its unique premise and storytelling set it apart in the gaming landscape, emphasizing the scientific foundations of space exploration.
When it comes to PC performance, Per Aspera is relatively accessible, requiring an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 1599 and a CPU score of at least 4703. Players should aim for a system with 8 GB of RAM to achieve optimal performance. In terms of FPS benchmarks, players with mid-range GPUs can expect smooth gameplay even at higher graphics settings, making it a good match for a variety of setups without the need for top-tier components.
With a rating of 77/100, Per Aspera appeals to fans of strategy and simulation genres alike, thanks to its engaging narrative and thoughtful gameplay. If you enjoy games that combine scientific realism with strategic planning, this title is certainly worth your time.
Performance profile
Released in December 2020, Per Aspera 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.
As a strategy title, Per Aspera 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 — Per Aspera 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.
