I have tried it in full hd and get constant 60fps and smooth scrolling. So I dont think the game is to demanding. Given that it uses 2d Backgrounds and 3d for everything else I personally see the min requirements more like average requirements, and yes you can zoom seamlessly but rotation is not possible give its 2d-3d nature. The game scales up to 4k btw. so I assume the artwork is optimized for high res which explains the big download. Werner
