Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Forgotten Tales at none against Fallen Sword's shown. Forgotten Tales also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 48%) and chart position (#187 vs unranked). Fallen Sword's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 3.7). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Fallen Sword sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Forgotten Tales sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Fallen Sword holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 72 and 31 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Fallen Sword's written reviews are positive against 63% of Forgotten Tales's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fallen Sword ships an update monthly, Forgotten Tales fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
