# Arcane Quest 3 vs Duskfall

The clearest difference is rating: Duskfall at 4.8 against Arcane Quest 3's 4.6. Duskfall also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 302). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arcane Quest 3 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Duskfall sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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.
