* If your phone starts overheating you should definitely pause the game until it has cooled down. Removing protective coves might help.
  
 +
* The savegame file is - unlike in other games - not automatically uploaded to a cloud service. This means the player will lose his or her progress when switching or resetting their device. On Android the savegame is located on the internal memory (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.squareenix.relicrun/files/Progress/gameprogress.sav) from where it can be copied and archived for later restoration. This file does not include Google Play Achievements.

Gear

When on the start screen, you can call up your gear settings by clicking on the store icon, which contains a representation of Lara's backpack among other things.[4] The gear can also be accessed on the start screen of every level by clicking in Lara's backpack.

You can buy or upgrade gear items by spending in-game or actual money. If you go to the store, you can check the status of your gear. Before the 1.5.68 update, red bars indicated what you own, blue bars indicate what you would get if you bought the item or its first upgrade, and colourless bars indicate what you can upgrade at a later time. This system has been replaced with a progress bar divided into 10 parts in later versions.

Achievements

The game features a variety of Achievements. These are split into global Achievements, which can be gained in any level, and level specific Achievements, that can only be gained in a specific level.

System Requirements

  • Android:
Samsung Galaxy S4 or similar/better[5]
Android Version 4.4 (2.3 in earlier versions) or higher
30 MB storage space for the game engine , downloading additional levels requires more space; the game can take up to 330 MB of space up on the device, not including cached files
In-app purchases[6]
  • iOs:
iPhone 4 or newer[7]
138 MB storage space[8]
  • Windows 8 Phone
Windows Phone 8, 8.1, or 10[9]
67 MB storage space

Tips

  • If your device seems to be too slow/old and you get a lot of lagging (like Samsung Galaxy S3) turn off the "Record With Everyplay" option in the games settings. This seems to help with certain crashes/freezes, too.
  • Also, turning off background processes (email, Facebook, WhatsApp etc.), or turning off all network connections altogether (flight mode) might help. Be aware that without a network connection certain features of the game like the Facebook integration and watching advertisement videos (Supply Drops) will not work.
  • If your phone starts overheating you should definitely pause the game until it has cooled down. Removing protective coves might help.
  • The savegame file is - unlike in other games - not automatically uploaded to a cloud service. This means the player will lose his or her progress when switching or resetting their device. On Android the savegame is located on the internal memory (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.squareenix.relicrun/files/Progress/gameprogress.sav) from where it can be copied and archived for later restoration. This file does not include Google Play Achievements.
