# Hegemon vs Final Empires

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hegemon at 73% against Final Empires's 0%. Hegemon also leads on ratings volume (65 vs 5) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.3). Final Empires's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 23) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hegemon sells 23 one-off in-app purchases. Final Empires asks for nothing beyond the download.

Final Empires holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hegemon has 65 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Hegemon's written reviews are positive against 0% of Final Empires's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
