The Magic Forest is the most mysterious place in the Enchanted Lands. He has a special protection - here everything is not what it seems. And it's not easy... In the center of the forest is the strongest magic crystal - the Heart of the Forest. He endows the Magic Lands with magic! Everything went on as usual, but one of the wizards, Dares, decided to subdue the power of the Heart of the Forest. To do this, he went to the most impenetrable and mysterious parts of the Magic Forest. Many magicians tried to stop him, but the thirst for power blinded him and turned him into a Dark Magician. All who opposed him were turned to stone. At this time, the strongest wizards and guardians divided the crystal and hid the pieces in different parts of the forest. And in the vicinity of the fragments formed portals that will help the good wizard to quickly find all the fragments. At the moment when the last fragment was hidden, Dares gets to the place and sees the keepers. He turned them all to stone. Dares was furious. He understood that only magicians of light can open the magic circle that allows you to see the true appearance of the forest. It opens the Dark Portal and lets in dark spirits that are able to endow the creatures of the forest with dark power or turn into an enemy themselves. Also, the Dark Magician used a spell of dark infection. Kotore, infecting the forest with darkness, will remove the spell of its protection. There are not many Light magicians left, as well as time to save the forest. You need to collect all the fragments as soon as possible, combine them into a single crystal and defeat the Dark Mage in order to save the Magic Lands.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Hell Sweep Survivor at none against Magic Forest's shown. Hell Sweep Survivor also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 12 months) and review sentiment (90% vs 81%). Magic Forest's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (22 vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magic Forest sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Hell Sweep Survivor sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Magic Forest holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic Forest has 22 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Magic Forest's written reviews are positive against 90% of Hell Sweep Survivor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Magic Forest ships an update every 12 months, Hell Sweep Survivor every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 2, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
