Before I want to buy the game I of course want to make sure I can actually play it.
It said I would require a Dual core 3Ghz+ processor.
I have an intel quad core 2.40 Ghz so my first guess is that I can't run the game, but I wanted to ask yall just to make sure, since I know very little about computers.

Thank you in advance.

A CPU of that speed would likely be able to play through the game to the "win", though I would recommend you post the rest of the system specs so a proper discussion of what your game experience would likely be can be had.

CPU model
RAM size and speed
GPU and VRAM size
Display resolution

Thanks for the quick response!
I'm not sure if I found the information you were looking for but here goes.

CPU model : Intel core 2 Quad Q6600 - 64 bit (?)
RAM size and speed : 4 GB - 533.3 Mhz
GPU size: (=total available video memory?) 2815 Mb
VRAM size : ( = dedicated video memory?) 1024 Mb
Display resolution: 1440 x 900



On a sidenote - I played the demo and that worked well. And I do hope to be able to play a lot!

Looks like a pretty balanced setup, you'd probably hit the limit of memory capacity before CPU performance becomes an issue.

The VRAM will limit to the normal resolution sprites, but that just means you can get better image quality should you upgrade your system later on, though at that point it would probably be a full system upgrade.

thanks for the help! :3

This is a 10 year old hardware. You'll be on the low low end side on requirements. You'll probably be able to play the game, but you'll probably find yourself lacking in hardware capacity pretty soon.
No high res for you, and I can't tell at what point you'll start having performance drops, but it should happen pretty fast.
