About this app
Editor Reviews
Arknights, published by Yostar Limited., blends strategy and RPG elements in an anime-styled package. Players join Rhodes Island, a pharmaceutical company that battles a lethal disease as well as the social turmoil that follows it, and work alongside its leader Amiya to protect civilians and push back against those spreading chaos.
The main task is recruiting Operators, training them and deploying them on operations. There are hundreds of Operators across several classes, which opens up many ways to approach each operation. An Auto Deploy system is there to take some of the manual work off the player's hands. Away from combat, a Base construction system lets players build and arrange their own headquarters. The listing also points to its soundtrack and a cast of well-known Japanese voice actors.
Arknights averages 4.4 from about 207,000 ratings, with 78% five stars and 11% one star, and it has 5,000,000+ installs. There are no ads, and in-app purchases range from $0.99 to $99.99 per item. It was updated on 2026-08-13, requires Android 7.0 or newer and is rated Teen. The developer lists 2 GB of RAM and 2 GB of free storage as a minimum, and the newest of the 30 versions we list is a large 1.9 GB.
Strategy players who enjoy planning placements and collecting a large cast of characters will find a lot of depth. Anyone with an older phone or limited storage should check the requirements first.

Yes. Arknights is listed as free on Google Play and offers in-app purchases ($0.99 - $99.99 per item).
02 Which Android version does Arknights need?
The current release requires Android 7.0. If your device is older, one of the 30 earlier versions listed above may still install.
03 How do I install the APK?
Download the file from the version page, open it on your Android device and allow installs from this source when prompted. XAPK bundles need the APKPure app or a split-APK installer (see the install guide in the footer). Always prefer the latest version unless you specifically need an older build.
04 Is the download safe?
Files come from our download library or external sources and are not modified by us. Check the package name (com.YoStarEN.Arknights) and developer before installing.
05 How do I get my account back?
Accounts belong to the developer's own service, not to this site. Use the sign-in recovery option inside Arknights, or contact Yostar Limited. through the support address listed on Google Play.
06 How do I cancel a subscription?
Subscriptions bought through Google Play are managed in the Play Store under Payments and subscriptions; purchases made inside the app follow the developer's own billing.

Appmello never charges for downloads, so there is nothing to refund here. Refunds for in-app purchases are handled by Google Play or by the developer. Never enter payment details on any page claiming to be a download step.
08 How do I use Arknights?
Open the app after installing; it works exactly like the Play Store build. For feature questions see the developer's help pages, as Appmello only distributes the installer.
