About
Super Motherload, released in 2013, is an indie adventure game that fuses puzzle-solving and role-playing elements set in an alternate Cold War era on Mars. With 1 to 4 players able to team up in couch co-op mode, this game features a storyline crafted by Image Comics' Kurtis Wiebe and a fully voiced cast that brings its Soviet and American characters to life. The procedurally generated world ensures a unique experience every time, as players dig for minerals and unlock powerful upgrades for their mining pod.
In terms of PC performance, Super Motherload is quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU to run effectively—making it an excellent choice for those with minimal gaming setups. With a minimum GPU score around 136, players can expect smooth gameplay and decent FPS even on lower-end hardware. For optimal performance, a dedicated GPU from the low-end spectrum, such as an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 or an AMD Radeon R7 260X, would provide much better graphics settings and frame rates.
Should you play Super Motherload? If you enjoy casual co-op experiences with a blend of adventure and puzzle mechanics, this title may be worth your time, despite its 60/100 rating. Its unique setting, character-driven story, and engaging multiplayer elements can provide a fun, nostalgic gaming experience for fans of the genre.
Performance profile
Released in November 2013, Super Motherload 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.
RPGs like Super Motherload stress VRAM during long sessions — texture streaming, mods and open-world traversal inflate memory use over time. 8 GB VRAM is a practical floor; 12 GB+ is worth the headroom at 1440p and above.
Extremely light — Super Motherload 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.
