Darkest Dungeon: System requirements Darkest Dungeon Guide

Last update: 20 April 2023

Darkest Dungeon is an oldschool, extremely demanding RPG game. It offers pleasing to the eye, hand-drawn, breathtaking graphics, while at the same time not requiring you to have a top-notch PC to run the game. To have a completely smooth experience with the title, even a five years old PC from the bottom / middle shelf should easily suffice. The following guide was prepared on a PC with pretty average components, equipped with the i5-3470 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750Ti graphics and 16GB RAM. This machine was capable of running the game in 1080p, the game ran smoothly and there were no problems with performance.
