# Bio Crisis vs Dark Sword 2

Bio Crisis and Dark Sword 2 both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Bio Crisis's written reviews are positive against 44% of Dark Sword 2's. Bio Crisis also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 212). Dark Sword 2's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bio Crisis sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Dark Sword 2 sells 13 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 — 4.6 for Bio Crisis against 4.6 for Dark Sword 2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bio Crisis has 1.2K ratings behind it against 212, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 89% of Bio Crisis's written reviews are positive against 44% of Dark Sword 2's.

Bio Crisis ships an update every 4 months, Dark Sword 2 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
