With the aid of Sonetto, a powerful Arcanist and ally from the Foundation, your mission is to travel through eras to where the "Storm" is most active, find other Arcanists who can sense the coming "Storm," and save them from being "sifted out" of the timeline. ▶▶Stunning Visuals Blending Retro and Modern Aesthetics◀◀ Step into the mysterious alt-history animated by unique visual elements that blend Pop Art, classical oil painting, and more art styles in history. ▶▶A Cinematic Adventure across the 20th Century◀◀ From the Roaring '20s to the turn of the millennium, you will embark on a journey across time and space, and uncover the truth about the "Storm" and the mystery of the year 1999. ▶▶Full English Voice Acting with Authentic Accents◀◀ Immerse yourself in ages past.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Reverse at none against CookieRun's shown. Reverse also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). CookieRun's advantage is ratings volume (358K vs 10K) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. CookieRun sells 125 one-off in-app purchases and Reverse sells 31 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for CookieRun against 4.8 for Reverse. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CookieRun has 358K ratings behind it against 10K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of CookieRun's written reviews are positive against 81% of Reverse's.
CookieRun ships an update every 10 days, Reverse every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
