Choose between two different routes
| Route | What it uses | Evidence limit |
|---|---|---|
| Original browser page | The phone browser, its GPU access and the game’s input handling. | Launcher/client support is not a tested-device compatibility list. |
| Windows build through Winlator | A Windows build and a community compatibility layer on Android. | One public player reports success; no universal configuration or performance guarantee is established here. |
The Winlator report is by Reddit user starsforfeelings; other replies report mixed browser outcomes. Its indexed and displayed dates disagree, so we do not assign it an exact publication date. [2]
Browser checks, in order
- Open Aethus’s original game ↗ (external website, opens in a new tab) directly, outside an embedded frame.
- If the page reports no WebGPU, update the browser and inspect whether the device exposes the required GPU feature. Do not use a PC-only flag as a blanket phone fix.
- Let the initial download complete; note whether its progress counter moves. A server quota message is a different branch from a GPU warning.
- Inspect the actual touch/input controls before committing to a long run. A larger display does not prove that all inputs work on your device.
- If the original browser route is unsuitable, retain the PC save and check current original-author/community guidance for your device. Do not install a purported mobile port just because it uses the game’s name.
Your PC and phone do not share storage automatically
Export from the client where your progress exists; export any phone progress separately before importing. Import replaces the destination. Keep both original files until heroes, equipment and zone unlocks match your intention. Browser addon installation is separate again. [4][5]
What has and has not been checked
We inspected the original launcher and client text and read the public mobile report. We have not completed a run on a physical Android phone, iPhone or iPad, benchmarked Winlator, or verified every cross-version save transfer. Device model, GPU, browser, game version and the exact warning are more useful troubleshooting details than “mobile does not work”.
Sources & verification
- Aethus · browser launcher ↗ (external website, opens in a new tab) — Inspected 29 October 2026; resource stamp c33ee61002a5. Original-host and frame checks, startup handling and local-save fallback. The resource stamp is not the game version.
- Reddit · starsforfeelings and replies ↗ (external website, opens in a new tab) — Read 29 October 2026. One Winlator report and mixed browser replies; page and search-cache dates differ, so the exact post date is unconfirmed. Device-specific anecdotes.
- Aethus · original game ↗ (external website, opens in a new tab) — Original v0.127.0 / d1c85453 public client text inspected 29 October 2026. Single-source menu and talent evidence; no completed run or damage benchmark.
- Aethus · browser save bridge ↗ (external website, opens in a new tab) — Inspected 29 October 2026. File export and file selection; the client itself validates imports. Not a save-recovery test.
- Aethus · browser addon installer ↗ (external website, opens in a new tab) — Inspected 29 October 2026. ZIP handling, per-browser IndexedDB files and next-run loading. Not proof every addon is compatible.
