Alex Mercer reaches smartphones — Prototype gets an unofficial Android port
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
Enthusiasts continue to port iconic projects to smartphones.
A developer going by the handle VinTeRuS has released proto-re, an unofficial Android port of Prototype based on the 2009 PC version.
The smartphone port features touch controls with customizable button placement and sizing, camera sensitivity adjustments, and gamepad support. Users can also tweak resolution, texture quality, and the frame rate limit. According to the author, the game runs at around 38–46 FPS at 720p on a Google Pixel 6 with Mali-G78 graphics — performance is CPU-bound.
Those wishing to try the port should note that on October 28, the developer released version 0.2.0 and discontinued work on the project. Several issues remain: cutscenes do not work, and a black screen appears instead of the “Web of Intrigue” memories.
Running the game requires Android 10 or newer, a 64-bit ARM processor, Vulkan 1.3 support, and files from a personal PC copy of Prototype. To enable the Russian translation, an additional fan localization patch by ElArchibald must be installed.
