Orb Master is a real-time PVP game that battles between players. Choose the right Orbs, merge and level them up to have fun in the battle! It’s much more fast-paced and excited than you can imagine. 3 minutes a game. Highlights: ● Battle with the worldwide players ● Defeat the monsters with friends ● Try different lineups and strategies ● Make friends with team members ● Lots of fun event and challenges ● Collect unique skins and Emojis Let’s get the powerful Orbs to destroy all the enemies! Message from the developer: It’s a pleasure to introduce Orb Master here. Let's talk about who we are first. We are a very young game development team like a baby in this industry. We hope that Orb Master and us can grow into capable adults together. We strive to be creative and unique. We always try to make a unique game. That’s how Orb Master is made. We have designed 44 Orbs with different special skills. By forming different lineups, you can have different strategies. -We hope that players will feel relaxed when playing this game after working and studying. So we make it easy to get the Orbs. Even the newbie can easily obtain Legendary Orbs by playing Co-op with experienced players. -We think that traditional tower defense game is boring because there is no PVP mode You can defeat the other players in a game within 3 minutes. Also, you can defeat the monsters with friends in Co-op mode. -We want to have flexible strategies in different modes There are PVP mode, Co-op mode, Grand Prix, and Infinite Firepower, etc. Different strategies and lineups for different modes. We still have many ideas to be developed for this game. Stay tuned. What’s more, we think your feedback is important too. The player and developer can make a better game together. We are looking forward to your contribution. Every Orb is weak alone, but when they stand together, they are invincible. Have fun! Note: Orb Master is completely free to play with optional in-app purchases available.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pokémon Quest at 75% against Orb Master's 33%. Pokémon Quest also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (19K vs 1.5K). Orb Master's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Pokémon Quest sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Orb Master sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Orb Master holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pokémon Quest has 19K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Pokémon Quest's written reviews are positive against 33% of Orb Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pokémon Quest ships an update every 3 months, Orb Master monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
