# Magician's Saga vs ReLOST

Magician's Saga and ReLOST both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Magician's Saga's written reviews are positive against 50% of ReLOST's. Magician's Saga also leads on ratings volume (351 vs 42). ReLOST's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magician's Saga sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ReLOST sells 6 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 — 4.5 for Magician's Saga against 4.4 for ReLOST. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magician's Saga has 351 ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of Magician's Saga's written reviews are positive against 50% of ReLOST's.

Magician's Saga ships an update every 2 months, ReLOST every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
