# Magic World vs Survival RPG

Magic World and Survival RPG both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of Survival RPG's written reviews are positive against 40% of Magic World's. Survival RPG also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 27). Magic World's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magic World sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Survival RPG sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Survival RPG holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Survival RPG has 2.3K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of Magic World's written reviews are positive against 86% of Survival RPG's.

Magic World ships an update every 10 months, Survival RPG monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
