Doesn’t want to restore my purchase

I bought this game in November 2013 and sent multiple emails to this company thru 2 different emails and no response with screen shot of my purchase for skulls of shogun and it was never restored or responded why it hasn’t been restored instead I’m using the free trial to play a game I already bought. This is illegal due to the terms in the agreement. I’m calling apple today to file a formal complaint about the situation with this developer or company that bought the rights to the game after I paid for it before they existed.

It’s ok but a subscription is to far

Love the game although I could only play the first level for free and I’m not going to pay for a subscription for a bunch of games when I only want to play the one
