Flame kick werewolves, perform thrilling acrobatic stunts, and run a trillion dollar mining company in Riverman Media’s combat-action masterpiece! The Executive is a fast-paced, cinematic martial-arts action game designed from the ground up for iPhone and iPad. You are the CEO of a company that has been infiltrated by werewolves, and it’s your job to save your employees, and eventually the entire city, from their dastardly schemes. OUR PROMISE TO YOU: No ads. No getting suckered into buying more stuff later. The whole game, for one price, for all updates, forever. The Executive combines a high-speed combat system, timing-based running and platforming, 120 hand-crafted levels, a full inventory of moves and upgrades, and a simple mining company simulation for earning money, all into one cohesive experience. The fighting engine evokes a cross between Street Fighter II and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, with controls designed from scratch to be ideal for touch screens. The platforming (or “stunt”) segments require precise timing, similar to Elite Beat Agents but with an emphasis on visual timing instead of musical rhythm. Both of these mechanics are brought together by the SP bar, which allows you to execute gesture-based special moves like flame kicks, health restoration, and even morphing your character’s arm into a silver spike to impale foes. The Executive uses Riverman Media’s proprietary animation system to bring to life its large, hand-drawn 2D sprites with an unprecedented amount of smoothness and detail. The Executive represents the pinnacle of Riverman Media’s research and development into new 2D graphics technology. FEATURES + 120 levels, hand-crafted one pixel at a time. No randomly generated endless filler. + Dozens of abilities and skills to learn + Battle enemies and execute stunts in every level + Over 50 unique enemies, each with their own intelligence, strengths, and weaknesses + Invest in your mining company and earn money continuously + 12 Menacing bosses that will require your strategy and skill to defeat + Universal App: purchase it once, play forever on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch + 12 Challenging achievements + High-definition “Retina” graphics for all supported devices, Retina HD graphics on iPhone 6+ + iCloud support: touch the Book icon from the main menu to transfer progress between devices! ―――――――――― Riverman Media is two brothers who have dedicated their lives to the art of 2D game making ―――――――――― * Street Fighter 2, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and Elite Beat Agents are not affiliated with Riverman Media or The Executive.

Invincible: Guarding the Globe is an idle squad RPG set in the Invincible universe featuring a new story never seen in the comics or Amazon Prime TV series, with graphic multi battle action, character collection, team management, idle features and, of course, super-powered visuals. THE WORLD OF INVINCIBLE Accompany the highly rated Amazon Prime Video show with the first Invincible mobile RPG. Embark on a complete campaign with an original story – a new narrative where you join the Global Defense Agency to unravel the mystery of a deadly clone army (and… stolen burger meat?) working alongside the head of the GDA, Cecil Stedman. CHARACTER COLLECTION Recruit a team of iconic characters from the Invincible comics and show. From obvious all-time favorites like Invincible and Atom Eve, to the notorious Flaxans, Mauler Twins and more. Gain battle experience to level up your team, combining clones to increase their rank and achieve new heights of strength, power, and overall badassery. SUPER-POWERED ACTION Assemble your line-up and deploy them into blood-soaked RPG battle action. Each squad member has a role: Attacker, Defender, or Support. It’s up to you to choose the best combo for each encounter. During combat, each member of your team can unleash their own powerful ultimate ability to smash and/or rip the enemy to a pulp and/or shreds and claim victory. IDLE BATTLE & GDA OPS Run idle battles in the background while you’re AFK living your everyday life. Even better, accumulate tons of rewards to collect when you’re back! Get more out of your team, send them on GDA Ops: secondary battle that runs separate from the main storyline, played simultaneously. ALLIANCES WITH FRIENDS Team up with friends to deploy a group of heroes co-op. Prepare for social battle together, facing waves of Magmanites, Reanimen and Flaxans popping up, dropping down, or portal-ing themselves in from other dimensions. GEAR & ARTIFACTS Always good to have a little extra padding! Send your team into battle fully equipped with four categories of gear: chestwear, legwear, footwear and gloves. Add special, unique gear known as artifacts for extra stat bonuses or passive effects. Each piece of gear has a rarity level and can be upgraded to enhance its benefit even further. SHOPS, NOT LOOTBOXES There’s a mall’s-worth of different stores to check out. Recruit heroes, acquire gear, currencies and more! Pop into Cecil’s Recruitment Department to get new heroes. Or visit Art’s Tailor Shoppe to purchase equipment and other items of interest. This is no casino: get what you want in transparent shops without frustrating gacha mechanics or lootbox systems. MISSIONS & EVENTS More action to keep you on your toes - complete daily and weekly goals for huge in-game rewards, with frequent special offers, unique in-game events, and more to come. Each month a new character from the Invincible universe will be revealed and available to recruit for your team.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Invincible at Free against The Executive's $2.99. Invincible also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (63K vs 87). The Executive's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Invincible holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Invincible has 63K ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of The Executive's written reviews are positive against 62% of Invincible's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

The Executive ships an update every 5 months, Invincible every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
