# Returned Warrior RPG vs Rush Knights

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Returned Warrior RPG at 90% against Rush Knights's 33%. Returned Warrior RPG also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Rush Knights's advantage is ratings volume (32 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Returned Warrior RPG sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Rush Knights sells 88 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 4.5.
