About

Tempest 4000, released in 2018, brings players back into the cockpit of the Claw, a formidable spacecraft designed to obliterate vibrant geometric prisms and deadly foes with rapid-fire shots. This casual game shines through its engaging gameplay, offering three distinct modes and 100 challenging levels, where players must think and react quickly to eliminate threats and climb the leaderboards. The visually striking graphics and fast-paced action make it a notable entry in the genre.

For PC performance, Tempest 4000 is quite accessible and doesn't demand high-end hardware, making it a great option for casual gamers. Minimum specifications include an entry-level GPU with a score around 631 and a CPU score of approximately 157, alongside at least 4 GB of RAM. With these requirements, players can expect a smooth gaming experience that delivers solid FPS across various graphics settings, allowing for a fun and fluid gameplay experience without the need for high-tier components.

While Tempest 4000 holds a rating of 50/100, its appeal largely lies in its casual, fast-paced gameplay that may suit players looking for easy-to-pick-up entertainment rather than hardcore challenges. If you enjoy colorful graphics and quick reflex action, it could still be worth a download, especially for fans of the genre.

Performance profile

July 2018 release. Tempest 4000 was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.

Indie and casual titles are typically light on hardware. Tempest 4000 runs well on almost any modern GPU, including integrated graphics on recent laptops — you won't need a dedicated card for a smooth experience.

Extremely light — Tempest 4000 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.

Storyline

Tempest 4000 is a visually stunning, action-packed tube shooter based on the classic hit arcade game, Tempest. Developed by legendary game designer, Jeff Minter, Tempest 4000 remains faithful to the original fast-paced gameplay by putting you in control of the Claw, a powerful spacecraft equipped to destroy deadly creatures and other obstructions with rapid-fire shots on vibrant geometric prisms. Featuring fantastical graphical environments, 100 levels, three game modes, and more, you must eliminate all enemies as fast as possible to survive and compete for the highest score on the leaderboards.
