Loop Hero breaks one million downloads on mobile

Four Quarters' acclaimed roguelike RPG, Loop Hero, has achieved a remarkable milestone: over one million mobile downloads! This achievement comes just two months after its mobile launch, showcasing enduring player interest even after its initial 2021 Steam release.

Loop Hero plunges players into a time-looping adventure, where a malevolent lich has plunged the world into disarray. Players embark on repeated expeditions, upgrading their hero and acquiring new equipment with each cycle, ultimately striving to defeat the lich and restore order.

Published on mobile by Playdigious, Loop Hero's unique premise and gameplay captivated reviewers upon its initial release.

Mobile Gaming's Expanding Horizons

The common misconception that "there's nothing good on mobile" is increasingly challenged by titles like Loop Hero. This success demonstrates the growing trend of indie developers recognizing the mobile market's potential for premium games, extending beyond the typical gacha, strategy, and casual genres.

Loop Hero's million-plus downloads in just two months underscore this trend. While precise paying customer figures remain undisclosed (the game offers a free trial), even a modest conversion rate to paid users makes mobile a compelling platform for developers.
