# Knighthood vs The Elder Scrolls

Knighthood and The Elder Scrolls both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 64% of Knighthood's written reviews are positive against 49% of The Elder Scrolls's. Knighthood also leads on chart position (#140 vs unranked). The Elder Scrolls's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Knighthood sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and The Elder Scrolls sells 39 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Knighthood holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 38K and 13K respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Knighthood's written reviews are positive against 49% of The Elder Scrolls's.

Knighthood ships an update every 5 weeks, The Elder Scrolls every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
