EXPLORE A VAST MMORPG WORLD LIKE NO OTHER RuneScape is a high fantasy open world MMORPG. Explore an ever changing and evolving living world where new challenges, skills, and quests await. Featuring unprecedented player freedom, you choose how to play, adventure, and grow. PLAY YOUR WAY It's all up to you. Will you explore the world and embark on a risky raid with friends, or seek fame and fortune as a lone adventurer? Whether you’re the hero of daring quests, quietly tending to your farm, a legend risking it all against a high-level boss or simply a gentle soul spending a night at the circus, RuneScape is the perfect AFK second-screen game. Play how you want, the choice is yours! Warrior or wizard, farmer or cook – what type of hero will you be? ENDLESS DISCOVERY With a world and story that’s been growing for an incredible 20 years, RuneScape continues to thrill players with a magic packed adventure unlike any other. With 270 million installations and cross-playability on PC and mobile, join the hundreds of millions of people who have explored the fantastic and mystical world of Gielinor. UNFORGETTABLE ENCOUNTERS Make friends – and perhaps sometimes enemies – with a rich roster of memorable NPC characters. From lovable companions and friendly rogues, to deceitful villains and vengeful gods, the many faces of Gielinor offer a deep fantasy experience unlike anything else. A THRIVING WORLD Visit dozens and dozens of unique and striking locations, from the medieval city of Burthorpe and the tranquil harbours of Catherby, to the dangerous dragon filled expanses of the Wilderness or the barren and parched Kharidian Desert. Own your own port! Run your own farm! Make a pretty penny trading with players at The Grand Exchange… but be sure to keep your exotic wares safe in the Bank! POWERFUL SKILLS With 29 skills to master, what will you become? Will you be one with nature by perfecting Woodcutting, Fishing, Herblore and Cooking? Or perhaps you prefer to be creative with Crafting, Farming, Smithing and Construction? Maybe your tastes lay elsewhere – with Hunting, Divination, Invention or Runecrafting? Or does your soul yearn for action, with Magic, Summoning, Slayer and Dungeoneering? VERSATILE COMBAT Do you want to get up close and personal with a sharp blade in your hand? Or will you take a tactical approach and attack from range? Or perhaps your skills are more mystical, and you prefer the arena of magic? Defeat a dazzling assortment of foes including an unimaginable array of epic bosses. From demons to dragons and rock monsters to serpents, nightmares beyond your wildest imagination lay in wait.

RuneScape's advantage is chart position (#50 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
