Sloclap has not published a minimum Android version in the sources we checked; the Google Play listing checks your device automatically and tells you whether it is compatible before you buy.

A 60-second purchase checklist

Right store: App Store (needs iOS 18+ / iPadOS 18+) or Google Play.
Right seller: Sloclap, with Kepler Interactive, on the seller line.
Right price: $7.99 or £6 — a single charge.
Right expectations: full campaign, all free updates, and Arenas included; nothing else to buy.

Both stores carry the same app, and storefronts convert the $7.99 / £6 list price into your local currency automatically Eurogamer. If a listing shows anything other than a single purchase price — a rental, a bundle, a recurring plan — you are not looking at the official release.
