Update: I just randomly figured it out right after waking up!

Solution: All you have to do is create this folder path: “Android/data/com.hoplite.spacehulk/files” create any folders you don’t see here on your phone that’s it. I was apparently missing a “files” folder within that space hulk folder.

The quickest way to check if this works:

1. Open the app after creating those folders
2. Click “continue” or “cancel” on the Google Play pop up screen (it doesn’t matter which you click apparently)
3. Go to settings
4. Change the language to any language (perhaps one you can kinda sorta understand enough to change back to your preferred language, Spanish for me)
5. Press the “Back” button (or whatever it says now in the language you picked like “Atras”) until you’re back to the main menu and it’ll save
6. Sit on that main menu for a couple seconds to make sure it saves the language and close the app completely
7. Reopen and see if the language sticks

I’ve been playing the hell out of this game. It’s so addicting. Some levels are actually pretty challenging, I probably would have raged hard as a kid.
