Both are free to download. Town Rush sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Castle Takeover asks for nothing beyond the download.
Town Rush holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Town Rush has 20K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Castle Takeover's written reviews are positive against 27% of Town Rush's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Castle Takeover ships an update every 2 weeks, Town Rush every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
