iOS: https://support.apple.com/HT201330
Android: https://support.google.com/android/answer/9079646
On relaunching the game you will see the Campaign Launcher, where you can select a different campaign.
It is not possible to return to the Campaign Launcher from in-game due to operating system restrictions that prevent an app relaunch without a user manually closing the app.
Why is my new device not supported?
Google Play Store listings for Feral games show all devices on which we have confirmed a game will play without issue. This list is determined after extensive testing.
We do not usually have access to new Android devices prior to their commercial launch; this means that a new phone or tablet is unlikely to be officially supported immediately. It should also be noted that a new device may actually be less powerful than an earlier device from the same manufacturer, therefore we cannot guarantee that all later devices will be fully supported.
How do I contact customer support?
If you are having any issues, please contact customer support by selecting Help & Support → Support → Contact Support from the Main Menu or Pause Menu.
Emailing support via the in-game menus automatically includes information about your device that can help our support team resolve issues. This information is anonymous and is only used to resolve technical support issues.
