# Kingshot vs Mecha Fire

The clearest difference is update cadence: Mecha Fire at fortnightly against Kingshot's every 2 months. Mecha Fire also leads on review sentiment (41% vs 24%). Kingshot's advantage is ratings volume (234K vs 17K) and chart position (#2 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kingshot sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Mecha Fire sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Kingshot against 4.6 for Mecha Fire. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kingshot has 234K ratings behind it against 17K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 24% of Kingshot's written reviews are positive against 41% of Mecha Fire's.

Kingshot ships an update every 2 months, Mecha Fire fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
