About

SmallZ, released in 2023, is an action-adventure game that immerses players in a thrilling third-person zombie survival experience. Whether you choose to go solo or team up with others, you’ll face various threats, including hordes of zombies and challenging boss encounters. The game stands out for its robust building mechanics, allowing players to craft fortifications and customize bases with a variety of available parts, providing a unique blend of survival and strategy.

In terms of PC performance, SmallZ is designed to be accessible yet demanding enough to require a mid-range GPU for optimal gameplay. Players should aim for a GPU with a benchmark score of around 14,658 to experience smooth FPS and high graphics settings. Alongside this, a CPU score of approximately 1,301 and a minimum of 4 GB RAM are recommended to ensure stable performance as you navigate through the game’s immersive world.

If you enjoy indie titles with a mix of strategy and survival, SmallZ is worth your time, especially in its early access phase. With engaging gameplay mechanics and a growing player base, it offers a solid experience for those looking to dive into a zombie apocalypse with friends or alone.

Performance profile

January 2023 release. As a current-generation title, SmallZ 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, SmallZ 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.

High-end requirement. SmallZ needs an RTX 4070 Ti or RX 7800 XT for comfortable 1440p 60 FPS at High settings. 4K Ultra 60 FPS is flagship territory — RTX 4080 Super / RX 7900 XTX minimum without upscaling.
