Summary

As someone who often plays the game one-handed in portrait mode, I've noticed an inconvenience with the back button functionality in the recruit menu. When I press my phone's native back button while in this menu, instead of simply exiting the menu, it prompts me to confirm if I want to quit the game entirely. This forces me to use two hands, as the in-game back button is located in the top left corner of the screen. It's a minor but persistent annoyance that disrupts the smooth gameplay experience, especially for those of us who prefer one-handed play.

Explaining Why

  • The current back button behavior in the recruit menu doesn't align with the expected function of exiting the menu
  • It interrupts the gameplay flow, especially for one-handed players in portrait mode
  • The in-game back button's position (top left) is inconvenient for one-handed play
  • This issue occurs consistently, making it a recurring annoyance for players
  • It forces players to switch from one-handed to two-handed play unnecessarily
  • The extra confirmation step (asking to quit the game) is unnecessary when simply trying to exit a menu

i'm a landscape player and this annoys me as well.

#

its also the same when viewing world map. the return button only prompts me to exit the game.

Good thing, I'm using Swipe rather than having the back button on the lower part of the screen 😂

I use swipe too, but it is essentially a "back button". I didn't want to confuse the bot, haha. But regardless swiping "back" on my phone asks me if I want to exit on the recruitment pages and the map
