Hearthstone Gets Unofficial Android Port

For those familiar with the Hearthstone game from Blizzard, you guys are probably aware that the game is only available on the computer and on the iPad. Unfortunately it is not available for smartphones or the Android platform which we guess for Android users is a bit disappointing.

Well it seems that one gamer by the name of Khanh Hoang Tran has decided to do something about it. Like we said Hearthstone is only available on the iPad as far as mobile devices are concerned, but what Tran did was that he took the PC version of the game and turned it into a playable version on his Android device!

In fact it wasn’t even an Android tablet but an Android smartphone, and by the looks of it, it seems like it is one of Pantech’s Vega smartphones. Now Tran has not made the game available to the public yet as he isn’t sure if it will work across the board. He admits that he did run into some issues, but overall he seems quite chuffed with his work so far.

Tran stated that he will be publishing a how-to article in the future so that other Android gamers will be able to get the game up and running on their phones. We should note that despite it being an unofficial port, Tran was still able to connect to Blizzard’s Battle.net servers where he could play against other players.
