Stoneshard — Android
As of now, an official Android port of Stoneshard has not been released by developer Ink Stains Games or publisher HypeTrain Digital. The developers have previously stated that while mobile platforms are a potential future goal, they were not the primary focus during the game's initial development. A 2025 update from the developers regarding Android-specific issues acknowledged the port is "still really early in development," confirming that while work is happening, it is not a high priority. However, that hasn't stopped the community from bringing the game to Android. The version currently available is a direct, fan-assembled port of the PC build, using a virtual machine (VM) integration and repackaged as a mobile app. This means the gameplay, content, and difficulty are identical to the experience found on Steam.

The dream of Stoneshard on Android is not dead—it’s just hibernating. The game is too perfect a fit for mobile to ignore forever. The combination of turn-based combat, deep survival systems, and roguelite progression would dominate the premium RPG charts on Google Play. However, that hasn't stopped the community from bringing
The Android port captures the complete, unflinching experience of its PC counterpart. Make no mistake, Stoneshard is a game designed to test your patience, strategy, and resolve. Every expedition into a dungeon or journey across the map requires meticulous preparation. You'll need to pack enough food, water, medical supplies, and tools, as resources are finite and the wilderness is unforgiving.
: The game features deep, turn-based combat where every decision matters. Victory demands careful planning, efficient use of skills, and a deep understanding of enemy behaviors. The turn-based system ensures that every action you take, every tile you move, will be met with a reaction from your foes.
Performance can be variable and reliant on your specific device's hardware. The port also appears to be based on an earlier build of the PC version, meaning you might not have access to the very latest features or content updates, such as the caravan system or the "Blood Omens" update. It is important to note that this is an unofficial solution and not supported by the developers, so you may encounter issues that cannot be officially fixed.
Given the developer's comments that they "haven't decided for sure" and that it's not a priority, an official Android port is likely still years away—if it happens at all.
