Loop Hero breaks one million downloads on mobile

Four Quarters' captivating time-bending RPG, Loop Hero, has achieved a remarkable milestone: over one million mobile downloads! This achievement comes just two months after its mobile release, a testament to the enduring appeal of this unique title, which initially launched on Steam in 2021.

Loop Hero plunges players into a roguelike adventure where an evil lich has fractured time itself. Players embark on expeditions, upgrading their hero and acquiring new equipment with each loop, steadily progressing towards the climactic final battle and the hope of restoring the world.

Beyond the Mobile Stereotype: The persistent notion that "there's nothing good on mobile" is increasingly challenged by titles like Loop Hero. While gacha and casual games dominate the mobile landscape, a growing number of indie developers recognize the potential of bringing premium experiences to mobile devices.

Loop Hero's million-plus downloads in just two months strongly support this trend. While the exact number of paying customers remains unknown (Loop Hero offers a free trial), even a modest conversion rate makes mobile a compelling platform for developers.
