Four Quarters' captivating roguelike RPG, Loop Hero, has achieved a remarkable milestone: over one million mobile downloads. This achievement, just two months after its mobile launch (following its 2021 Steam debut), underscores the enduring appeal of this time-bending adventure.
In Loop Hero, players are thrust into a chaotic world ravaged by an evil lich who has disrupted the flow of time. The gameplay involves guiding a hero through repeated expeditions, upgrading their abilities, and acquiring new equipment to ultimately confront the lich and restore order.
Playdigious brought Loop Hero to mobile platforms. Its unique storyline and innovative mechanics captivated reviewers upon its initial release.
The success of Loop Hero on mobile challenges the common misconception of a lack of high-quality games on the platform. This title, along with a growing number of indie titles, showcases the expanding potential of the mobile gaming market for premium experiences, even outside the usual genres.
While the exact number of paying customers remains undisclosed (Loop Hero offers a free trial), the impressive download figures suggest significant potential for mobile revenue. This success story serves as compelling evidence of the mobile market's attractiveness for premium game developers.
