Lost Realms is a completely free (and no ads!) indie strategy game. It's a mash up of chess and your medieval RTS favorites. Build your empire, expand your economy, raise an army, and vanquish your opponents. Easy to learn, but hard to master. Conquering your opponents will require carefully balancing your economy with your military, controlling your armies to outflank your opponents, and researching the right technologies. This could be rushing your opponent with an early attack or building towers to defend your superior economy. And each civilization offers unique bonuses and units to make every game unique. - Play a campaign as the civilization of Jakarth - Play against the AI as an civilization on different maps - Learn strategy though guided tutorials The game is entirely free with no ads. I don't currently make any money off the game. The app also does not collect any personal information. It's just a game for you to enjoy.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lost Realms at none against Herodom's 1. Lost Realms also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 70%). Herodom's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Herodom sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Lost Realms asks for nothing beyond the download.
Lost Realms holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Herodom has 3.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Herodom's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lost Realms's.
Herodom ships an update every 5 weeks, Lost Realms every 3 days. Both last shipped on September 15, 2026.
