# Invaders Legacy vs Colony Master

The clearest difference is rating: Colony Master at 4.5 against Invaders Legacy's 2.5. Colony Master also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (427 vs 109). Invaders Legacy's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 6%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Invaders Legacy sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Colony Master sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Colony Master holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 109 and 427 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Invaders Legacy's written reviews are positive against 6% of Colony Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Invaders Legacy ships an update every 2 weeks, Colony Master every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
