# Death Worm™ vs Tomb Heroes

The clearest difference is rating: Death Worm™ at 4.7 against Tomb Heroes's 3.1. Death Worm™ also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 50%) and ratings volume (58K vs 17). Tomb Heroes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Death Worm™ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Tomb Heroes sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Death Worm™ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Death Worm™ has 58K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Death Worm™'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Tomb Heroes's.

Death Worm™ ships an update monthly, Tomb Heroes every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
