# 영웅전설 vs Three Kingdoms Tempest

The clearest difference is ads: 영웅전설 at none against Three Kingdoms Tempest's shown. 영웅전설 also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 153). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 영웅전설 sells 107 one-off in-app purchases and Three Kingdoms Tempest sells 33 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 — 4.8 for 영웅전설 against 4.7 for Three Kingdoms Tempest. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 영웅전설 has 2.5K ratings behind it against 153, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of 영웅전설's written reviews are positive against 66% of Three Kingdoms Tempest's.

영웅전설 ships an update fortnightly, Three Kingdoms Tempest every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
