Can I run it?
Does anyone know if I could run this game with an Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000?
Friend wants me to play together but no demo for it to test it out.
I am not looking for like ultra look or anything, just for it to run, I was never the person that goes all about how the game looks.

Edit:
It has an intel i7-3520M @ 2.90GHz and 8gb ram.

Edit 2:
Thank you all very much. ^^

Edit 3:
So a little update for you guys.
The game runs with everything on lowest / turned off.
Runs more or less like it does in the video, maybe actually a little bit better.
Has issues when I was playing with 2 other people and they had their buildings there also, but I am thinking more its the fires all around that were the issue. Had a few crashes when I went too fast to look in my chests before stuff loaded.
The game ran at like manageable fps and a steady one at that, so it is not like freezing or jolting on screen.
Water is a bit weird looking, like a bunch of weird pinkish pyramid shapes, but again no freezing screen.
So far I only fought the first 2 bosses, seen the mountains, sailed over the ocean.
So to summarize: it's not pretty, but its running for now.
Lets hope it keeps on going like it is for now.

Steam has a 2 hour refund window.

Most likely not. If you want a nice coop game with that specs, check out Terraria.

Should be okay, since it's a slow game.
But don't expect a high FPS, and don't build too large bases, avoid tree farms.

I think a decent CPU is more important in this game as well as enough RAM.

Edited my main post a bit. Sry I always forget to mention those.

Give it a try, gpu requirements aren't that high.
But expect the game not running smooth in crowded areas.

and there's always the option of a refund, if it doesn't work at all.
Or maybe keep the game till you upgraded your system then.

The issue is that it would be a gift card fund, and I cant refund that to my friend cause Steam is like that. And for some stupid reason my friend is not allowed to buy me the game directly cause Steam.

No, not at all, specially seeing the video of the guy who tried play it.

And that at the start without big buildings or enemy raids.

Better to look for other games or to try to bump up those specs a little.

Question was: "Can I run it" and that's a yes. ;-)

If your expectations are low and you definetely want to play it, it works.
But as said. It's up to everyone on his / hers own being ok with low grafics.
that's why oI posted this vid.

That isn't actually... that bad, considering the 4000 is about 300% less powerful than the lowest end 500 series from 2011 (minimum requirement). OP has an i7 and in that video game was running on an i3 with 6gb of mismatched ram. I reckon at 800x600 you might be able to get at least 20fps out of it.

Do you seriously consider that the i3 was capping the HD4000?

An i7 won't make a difference here. And when he lights a fire and there are smoke effects? He could print the frame and put the picture on the wall before it updates to the next frame.
