What Nights of Azure is
Nights of Azure is a hack and slash/beat 'em up game developed by Gust and released in 2015. It was published by Koei Tecmo. It is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 3 and PC (Microsoft Windows). It carries an ESRB T age rating.
The premise, in the publisher's words
"In the kingdom of Ruswal, very few people leave their homes after nightfall, let alone have the strength and skill to take on the powerful, azure-blooded demons that plague the island. One of the best among these brave few is Arnice, a knight of great skill and power, who is assisted by her friend and priestess Lilysse in a quest to rid the land of these monsters. However, they soon find out that the solution to the island’s problems might not be as simple as defeating enemies in battle."

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Core i5 2.6GHz, 4 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX550Ti. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 6GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Nights of Azure launched on 1 October 2015, within three weeks of Undertale, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Hearts of Stone, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone and Tales from the Borderlands: A Telltale Game Series. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 2 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Undertale, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Hearts of Stone, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone, Tales from the Borderlands: A Telltale Game Series.
