im not familiar with AMD, but i have the 2012 rMBP with the NVIDIA GT 650m and i can run it very well on low, and decent on medium settings.
With that said, if mine can run it, I'm sure yours can

Hmmm. I have an iMac of the same year and gpu as you. Did you get yours from Steam or the MAS?
sure, hahah. downloading nowWould you be willing to perform a little experiment?
will let you know tomorrow some time
I hate to agree, but you are right: I had to turn the settings to the absolute minimum to have it at least borderline playable on my 2012 rMBP – despite it meeting the requirements for the game. I've never seen a Feral game perform so poorly on a Mac that meets the minimum requirements.
But apparently we can thank Apple for that: SoM requires Shader Model 5, which would only be available with OpenGL 4.3. We have OGL 4.1. So Feral had to work around these limitations and tried to make things work as best as they could.
everything on low or off at 1920x1080 ran at about 30FPS.. give or take a few. It was certainly playable, but the textures and graphics certainly aren't anything to write home about. I had better performance and graphics on windows side, but still playable on my GT 650M on mac side
