About

"Planet Smasher," released in 2016, is a unique blend of casual, indie, and strategy gameplay that invites players to solve puzzles through the exhilarating act of planetary destruction. With its vibrant 2D graphics and the option for immersive experiences in Virtual Reality using the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, this game stands out for its explosive action and engaging mechanics. Players smash planets together, forcing them to think critically while reveling in the chaos.

In terms of PC performance, "Planet Smasher" is quite accessible, making it playable on a variety of systems. The minimum GPU requirement is aligned with entry-level cards, scoring around 96, while an approximate CPU score of 1222 and at least 4 GB of RAM are necessary for smooth gameplay. Players can expect decent FPS even on lower-end hardware, so it's a great choice for those who want fun without demanding graphics settings.

If you're a fan of casual and puzzle games with a twist, you should definitely give "Planet Smasher" a shot. With its intriguing game mechanics and favorable ratings, it offers an enjoyable experience for both casual gamers and strategy enthusiasts alike.

Performance profile

Released in September 2016, Planet Smasher 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, Planet Smasher 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 — Planet Smasher 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.
