The Codex is the official companion app for Orna: The GPS RPG, from Northern Forge Studios. It puts the entire world of Orna in your pocket: every monster, boss, raid, follower, item, skill, class and event, straight from the game itself and updated with each release. KNOW YOUR ENEMY Look up any monster, boss or raid to see its tier, level range, where it spawns, what it drops, the skills it uses, its elemental weaknesses and resistances, and the status effects it shrugs off. Planning a kingdom raid or an arisen fight? Check the numbers before you commit. GEAR UP Browse thousands of weapons, armor, adornments, materials and consumables. Every item shows its stats, traits, adornment slots, element, who can equip it, what it costs, which monsters and raids drop it, and what it takes to upgrade. Tap through from a drop to the monster, from a material to the gear it forges. BUILD YOUR CHARACTER Explore every class and specialization: stats, weapon proficiencies, passive abilities, and the full list of skills learned at each level. Open any skill or spell to see its power, targets, cost, status effects and which classes learn it. Follower pages cover behaviour rates, bestial bonds and which monsters they can be tamed from. NEVER MISS AN EVENT The event calendar shows what is happening in Orna this month at a glance, with what is active right now front and centre. Each event page explains how it works tier by tier and lists its featured raids, bosses and followers. MORE • Instant search across the whole Codex, with filters by tier, family, rarity, slot, class, element and more • Status effects, passive abilities, NPCs and their quests, dungeon types and buildings • In-game guides covering the fundamentals and the endgame • Release notes for every app and server update • Bookmarks to keep your favourite entries a tap away • Community links to the official Discord, Reddit and more • Works offline once the database has been downloaded; refreshes automatically when the game updates • Available in every language the game supports The Codex is free and made by the same team that makes Orna. Travelers, your journey just got easier.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Codex at none against ANOTHER EDEN's 14. The Codex also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). ANOTHER EDEN's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 3) and chart position (#172 vs unranked). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Codex holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.

Written reviews point the same way: 74% of ANOTHER EDEN's written reviews are positive against 100% of The Codex's.
