# Forward Assault vs The Killbox

The clearest difference is ads: The Killbox at none against Forward Assault's shown. The Killbox also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 69%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Forward Assault's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (6.7K vs 173). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Forward Assault sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and The Killbox sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Forward Assault against 4.5 for The Killbox. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Forward Assault has 6.7K ratings behind it against 173, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of Forward Assault's written reviews are positive against 90% of The Killbox's.

Forward Assault ships an update weekly, The Killbox every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
