ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Duskfall holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Duskfall has 3.5K ratings behind it against 302, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Arcane Quest 3's written reviews are positive against 86% of Duskfall's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Arcane Quest 3 ships an update monthly, Duskfall every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
