Loop Hero breaks one million downloads on mobile

Loop Hero, the acclaimed time-bending roguelike RPG from Four Quarters, has achieved a remarkable milestone: over one million mobile downloads! This achievement comes just two months after its mobile launch, demonstrating enduring player interest, even after its successful 2021 Steam debut.

Loop Hero plunges players into a chaotic world disrupted by an evil lich. The gameplay involves guiding your hero through repeated expeditions, upgrading their abilities, and collecting equipment to ultimately confront the lich and restore order.

Mobile Gaming's Evolving Landscape

The common misconception that "there's nothing good on mobile" is increasingly challenged by titles like Loop Hero. This success story highlights a growing trend: indie developers are recognizing the potential of the mobile market, even for premium games beyond the usual gacha, strategy, or casual genres.

Loop Hero's million-plus downloads in just two months strongly support this observation. While precise paid-user numbers remain undisclosed (the game offers a free trial), even a modest conversion rate to paying customers makes mobile a compelling platform for developers.
