# Shadowborn vs Oniro ARPG

The clearest difference is rating: Shadowborn at 4.9 against Oniro ARPG's 4.4. Shadowborn also leads on ratings volume (5.1K vs 237). Oniro ARPG's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shadowborn sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Oniro ARPG sells 28 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shadowborn holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shadowborn has 5.1K ratings behind it against 237, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Shadowborn's written reviews are positive against 77% of Oniro ARPG's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Shadowborn ships an update monthly, Oniro ARPG weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
