Both are free to download. Boom Blast sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Magic War sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Magic War holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 778 and 358 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Boom Blast's written reviews are positive against 11% of Magic War's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
