ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Heroine Anthem Zero holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wilderless has 254 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Heroine Anthem Zero's written reviews are positive against 75% of Wilderless's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Heroine Anthem Zero ships an update every 5 months, Wilderless every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
