# Otherworld Legends vs Bastion

The clearest difference is ads: Bastion at none against Otherworld Legends's shown. Bastion also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Otherworld Legends's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (9.8K vs 1.5K). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Otherworld Legends holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Otherworld Legends has 9.8K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Otherworld Legends's written reviews are positive against 59% of Bastion's.

Otherworld Legends ships an update every 4 weeks, Bastion every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
