About

Sheltered is a 2016 indie strategy RPG that puts you in charge of a family's survival in an underground bunker. The game combines resource management with post-apocalyptic storytelling, requiring you to make difficult decisions about rationing food, water, and medical supplies while protecting your family from the dangers outside. It's a narrative-driven experience that emphasizes emotional weight alongside strategic gameplay.

Running Sheltered is very accessible for most gaming PCs, as it's designed to work on modest hardware. The game requires only 1 GB of RAM and an entry-level GPU with a minimum score around 96 to maintain playable framerates. You can expect solid FPS performance even on older or budget graphics cards, making this an excellent benchmark title for testing lower-end GPU performance or verifying that your system meets baseline requirements.

With a rating of 65/100, Sheltered offers a thoughtful indie experience best suited for players who enjoy strategy games with emotional narratives. If you appreciate resource management and story-driven gameplay over flashy graphics, it's worth adding to your collection despite the modest critical reception.

Performance profile

Released in March 2016, Sheltered 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, Sheltered 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 — Sheltered 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.
