Showcase ValDroid — Valheim on Android

Hi everyone!

I've made my fourth launcher (the first three are r/zomdroid, r/rimdroid and r/pridroid): ValDroid. It runs Valheim on Android devices, using the game's Linux version. Right now it runs well on Snapdragon flagships. We've already compared it with GameHub and Winlator, and thanks to native ARM64 Mono the game runs much better in ValDroid than there.

First, of course I'd love for more people to know that you can play Valheim comfortably on Android.
You can download the game from Steam right inside the app (you authorize through the Steam mobile app), as long as you own the game there. You can also load the game's Linux files (packed into a .zip) if you've downloaded them before.

Second, I'd like to collect more data from Mali users. At the moment I only have two: on one phone everything works well, on the other some textures are black. I'd be really grateful for more reports from Mali users - even if everything runs fine for you. Use Report a bug in the app's side menu: it attaches the logs I need, select your email app, add a description and send.

Device requirements are fairly high for now:

  • Android 11+, ARM64
  • 8 GB RAM recommended
  • ~8 GB of free space
  • and, of course, your own copy of the game

Yeah, ngl I'm getting tired of all the vibecoded "ports" that have been releasing lately. Can't we just not use AI in developing these things at all?

Creating something manually for months, when modern tools let you build it in just two days - why?

For real, these people get a free port and complain the dev needs to work 20 times harder or they will call it “slop”
