Can the Steam Machine run Reaper - Tale of a Pale Swordsman?
Not reliably — Valve's SteamOS compatibility check flags Reaper - Tale of a Pale Swordsman as Unsupported, and the Steam Machine runs SteamOS.
Red here means a compatibility problem (often anti-cheat or a launcher), not too little GPU power, so lower settings won't fix it.
