About
Wave War One, released in 2021, is an indie real-time strategy game that immerses players in the tactical challenges of World War I. As you battle through trenches, players must deploy eight distinct unit types while strategizing combat to advance their position on the battlefield. The game stands out for its unique combination of simulation and tactical gameplay, encouraging players to experiment with different approaches to overcome enemy threats and complete levels efficiently.
For optimal performance in Wave War One, players should aim for an entry-level GPU with a minimum benchmark score of around 1847. As the game is relatively accessible, it can run well on hardware that meets basic requirements, including at least 8 GB of RAM and a CPU score of roughly 3469. Gamers looking for solid FPS should consider modern GPUs like the NVIDIA GTX 1650 or AMD Radeon RX 550 to enjoy a smooth experience with enhanced graphics settings.
If you appreciate indie titles with strategic depth and engaging tactical gameplay, Wave War One is worth playing. With a solid rating reflecting its innovative mechanics, this game offers both a challenging single-player campaign and a captivating World War I setting.
Performance profile
Released in July 2021, Wave War One targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.
As a strategy title, Wave War One 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 — Wave War One 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
Wave War One takes place during World War I. Stepping into the shoes of a military commander, you can experience the horrors of trench battles and make decisions that will affect your troop's lives.
