ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lost Artifacts Chapter 1 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Archimedes has 220 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Lost Artifacts Chapter 1's written reviews are positive against 66% of Archimedes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
