# Hunter Evolution vs Backpack Attack

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hunter Evolution at 60% against Backpack Attack's 17%. Backpack Attack's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hunter Evolution sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Backpack Attack sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Backpack Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 49 and 144 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Hunter Evolution's written reviews are positive against 17% of Backpack Attack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hunter Evolution ships an update every 3 weeks, Backpack Attack every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
