# The Wild Darkness vs AXIS6

The clearest difference is rating: The Wild Darkness at 4.7 against AXIS6's 1.0. The Wild Darkness also leads on ratings volume (286 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12 vs 15.0). AXIS6's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Wild Darkness sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and AXIS6 sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Wild Darkness holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Wild Darkness has 286 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of The Wild Darkness's written reviews are positive against 100% of AXIS6's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

The Wild Darkness ships an update every 2 months, AXIS6 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
