The Android and iOS version also has the same quests, characters, and locations as the desktop version. The smartphone game is already available as Early Access and has been installed more than 2.1 million times in the past eighteen months.

The tutorial, menus, icons, text and textures have been redesigned for the smartphone game. The combat mechanisms have also been modified. Players can now sign up for the smartphone version, which will unlock “exclusive in-game rewards” for the community.
