# Forgotten vs Duskfall

The clearest difference is ads: Forgotten at none against Duskfall's shown. Duskfall's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (86% vs 67%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Forgotten sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Duskfall sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Duskfall holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Duskfall has 3.6K ratings behind it against 221, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Forgotten's written reviews are positive against 86% of Duskfall's.

Forgotten ships an update every 4 weeks, Duskfall every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
