# Invading Horde vs Overthrow

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Overthrow at 100% against Invading Horde's 57%. Overthrow also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Invading Horde's advantage is ratings volume (264 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Invading Horde sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Overthrow sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Overthrow holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Invading Horde has 264 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of Invading Horde's written reviews are positive against 100% of Overthrow's.

Invading Horde ships an update every 5 days, Overthrow fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
