# Dark Sword 2 vs Overdrive II

The clearest difference is rating: Dark Sword 2 at 4.6 against Overdrive II's 4.0. Dark Sword 2 also leads on ratings volume (212 vs 48). Overdrive II's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (57% vs 44%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dark Sword 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Overdrive II sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dark Sword 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 212 and 48 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Dark Sword 2's written reviews are positive against 57% of Overdrive II's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
