# Zombie Outbreak Simulator vs LEGION

The clearest difference is ads: LEGION at none against Zombie Outbreak Simulator's shown. LEGION also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Zombie Outbreak Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 160) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.2). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zombie Outbreak Simulator sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and LEGION sells 6 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 — 4.1 for Zombie Outbreak Simulator against 4.1 for LEGION. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zombie Outbreak Simulator has 1.7K ratings behind it against 160, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of Zombie Outbreak Simulator's written reviews are positive against 70% of LEGION's.

Zombie Outbreak Simulator ships an update every 3 months, LEGION every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
