ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Wanna Survive holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wanna Survive has 190 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Wanna Survive's written reviews are positive against 71% of Temporal War's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wanna Survive ships an update every 3 months, Temporal War every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
