About
Through the Ages, released in 2017, is an indie strategy game that captures the essence of Vlaada Chvátil's classic board game. Players start with a small tribe, and through careful management of resources like farms and mines, they develop their civilization over time. What makes this game notable is its blend of strategy and historical elements, allowing players to make significant decisions that can lead to technological advancements, governance improvements, and the construction of grand wonders.
In terms of PC performance, Through the Ages is quite accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum benchmark score of around 96. Players with 2 GB of RAM and a basic graphics card should be able to run the game smoothly, achieving decent FPS even on lower settings. For optimal performance, pairing it with a GPU in the low to mid-tier range can enhance graphics settings and frame rates, ensuring a seamless gameplay experience.
Should you play Through the Ages? With a rating of 70/100, it may not be the highest-rated game, but for fans of the strategy genre, the thoughtful gameplay and historical context make it a worthwhile experience. If you enjoy games that challenge your strategic thinking and resource management skills, this title is worth considering.
Performance profile
September 2017 release. Through the Ages 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.
As a strategy title, Through the Ages 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 — Through the Ages 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.
