ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gold and Goblins holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gold and Goblins has 42K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Quickfire Interactive's written reviews are positive against 21% of Gold and Goblins's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Quickfire Interactive ships an update every 15 months, Gold and Goblins monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
