When I woke up, I found that I was no longer stay in the familiar room, a world as beautiful as heaven greeted my eyes. "Where am I?" "Welcome to the Utopia land, the land of Beia," a voice said. "I am your guide, Xiaxia." Looking up, a flying sprite was talking to us. "You are the first adventurer to be recruited. Take this manual and start your adventures!" No one could have imagined that mine adventure legends was about to begin.   ◆ If You don't Build the House Well, You'll be Caught Xiaxia Tips ①: There will be a little demon and skeleton soldier at night, and it is very dangerous if don’t have your own campfire and house! “Let’s build our house today! There's wood and stone everywhere. Come on!” No one ever did chopping, mining or carpentry, but it was as if we have been given the magic by the land, and everyone learned to master all sorts of skills. Wood and stone were transported to the worktable, processed into boards and bricks, and a two-story building slowly formed with the sweat from everyone. As night fell, a mysterious mist filled the air. As Xiaxia said, a group of small demons with green flames appeared in the mist, but the fire in front of their homes made them dare not go further.   ◆ The World is so Big, I Want to Explore it with You! Xiaxia Tips ②: You can ride a dragon in this world, but first, tame a pony! After the home was built, everyone can't wait to explore the world. In order to ride the wild horses back home, let’s prepare horse feed first. There was a faint smell of carrot and wheat balls baked with a soft fire, and several horses came to us, rubbed our hands and ate happily. Lightly on the back of the horse, let the sun shine on the shoulders, we planned to go to explore the wilderness tomorrow!   ◆ The Best Sights in Beia is that We Fight Side by Side! Xiaxia tips ③: Treasure often accompanied by danger! Mount and weapon are ready, and nothing can stop us from exploring. It is said that in the islands, forests, deserts and snow-capped mountains, the treasure left by the creator gods is now guarded by monsters and Evils. For about half a day north, a ruin was visible, and a troop of skeletons wandered through the wreckage, with a golden chest in the middle. The battle began, the seemingly vulnerable skeletons were so powerful unexpectedly. Finally we beat them, after opening the treasure chest, a gem appeared with its soft light, as if healing our wounds.   ◆ Play in Your Way! I have climbed the most remote ruins, sailed to the most romantic heart island, even cut off the teeth of the dragon, but I still need more friends, do things we enjoy together, do you want to come together?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Vikingard at 4.7 against Utopia's 3.8. Vikingard also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (6.4K vs 663). Utopia's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Utopia sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Vikingard sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vikingard holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vikingard has 6.4K ratings behind it against 663, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Utopia's written reviews are positive against 41% of Vikingard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Utopia ships an update every 5 weeks, Vikingard every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
