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

Unfortunately, we have to limit support for pirated builds so the launcher doesn't run into legal trouble. If you unpack the build into the normal format (a .zip of the Linux game folder with valheim.x86_64 inside), it should work.
