Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Returned Warrior RPG at 5.0 against Demon Sword's 3.9. Demon Sword's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Demon Sword sells 23 one-off in-app purchases and Returned Warrior RPG sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Returned Warrior RPG holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Demon Sword has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Demon Sword's written reviews are positive against 90% of Returned Warrior RPG's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Demon Sword ships an update monthly, Returned Warrior RPG fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
