Your clan is under siege. The forest has turned against you. And the crown weighs heavier with every decision you make. Step into the armor of a Queen, a ruler fighting a desperate, relentless invasion threatening to erase her ancestral people from history. Survival demands more than strength. It demands instinct, timing, and the will to make choices no queen should ever have to make. The shadows are closing in. What kind of ruler will you be? YOUR STORY. YOUR COMMAND. Edge Born is not a game where the story happens around you, you are the force that drives it forward. Every decision made at critical narrative crossroads reshapes the world around you. Destinies splinter into entirely different futures. With a deeply branching storyline and multiple distinct endings, no two playthroughs lead to the same fate. Step back into the story at any time, and carve a different path, because sometimes, the crown must be earned more than once. MASTER YOUR ARSENAL. DEFEND YOUR BORDERS. The forest is no longer safe, and neither are the roads into your kingdom. Face waves of warrior infantry and hunt down the Forest Demons, ancient, merciless forces of nature that demand everything you have. Your blade weakens with every battle. A weapon at half health deals half its power. Repair early, or watch your costs spiral at the forge when your steel reaches critical condition. KEY FEATURES - Branching royal narrative with multiple distinct endings shaped entirely by your choices - Real-time tactical combat with directional swing mechanics and cooldown discipline - Dynamic enemy roster including standard infantry and high-threat generals - Weapon health and degradation system with exponential repair cost scaling - Accessibility via audio cues and VoiceOver compatibility for visually impaired players. Your people are calling. Your town is burning. Pick up your blade and lead.

Pegfall is a one-handed pegboard roguelite. You face an enemy on every floor. Each turn you pick an aim and fire your balls; every peg a ball touches hurts the enemy, and a long chain of hits fills a combo bar for bonus damage. When your balls run out, the enemy strikes back. Brace turns a ball into a shield. Beat the enemy to go down a floor, then pick a reward: a new orb for your deck, a card or a relic. Your health starts low. It grows from heal pegs on the board, from skipping a reward, and from permanent upgrades you buy in the Workshop with the essence you earn by playing. PLAY WITH VOICEOVER ON iPHONE Accessible play turns on by itself while VoiceOver is running. The board is built around one Aim control, with Status, Board summary and Last result next to it. By default, swipe up or down on Aim to move through five named directions, from Far left to Far right, and hear the likely first hit. After that, physics decides, and the game tells you when bumpers or bouncing walls can change the path. Double-tap to fire. When the balls stop, you hear the damage and what is left on the board. Board scan reads the board from top to bottom. While aiming, Magic Tap starts it and a second Magic Tap stops it. Optional aim sounds and the Aim practice lesson, whose practice shot costs nothing, help you learn. While Accessible play is on and VoiceOver is running, an interstitial ad can appear at most once every three minutes, and only after a button you press. You hear a warning first and "Ad closed" after it, and the game waits until then. VoiceOver play has been tested on iPhone. If something is hard to reach, please tell us. ▸ READ THE BOARD, THEN SHOOT A dotted line previews the start of your shot, up to the first two pegs it hits. After that, physics takes over, so the planning happens before you fire. ▸ A CAMPAIGN THAT ENDS — 10 CHAPTERS, 200 FLOORS Every chapter is its own biome and ends on its own boss, and deeper chapters add new board rules. Each chapter resets your build; only the last relic you took carries over as an heirloom. Leave mid-run and continue from the start of that floor. ▸ BUILDS THAT STACK 20 orbs, 23 relics, 40 cards and three characters send each run in a different direction. Take a curse when the floor asks for one. ▸ THE BOARD FIGHTS BACK From the sixth floor of every chapter, the pegs you spend erode. From chapter 3, pairs of pegs are wired into circuits whose discharge goes straight through armour, and some bosses bring hazard or void pegs onto the board. ▸ ENDLESS, DAILY AND WEEKLY Dive without a floor beneath you, take the same daily board as everyone else, or race one shared weekly board with a single attempt. After a Daily, Weekly or Endless run, join the optional online leaderboard with a nickname. No sign-up. ▸ GET STRONGER AS YOU PLAY Spend essence in the Workshop on permanent upgrades to starting health, damage and block, and on themes, ball skins, faces, ball hats and sound packs. Unlock Dark Depths tiers. ▸ BADGES AND BALLS YOU CANNOT BUY Your achievements are badges on your Profile. Three of them unlock a ball that is not for sale: Racer, Summit and Abyssal can only be unlocked by playing. ▸ THEMES AND SOUNDS IN THE SHOP The Iznik, Bosphorus and Sakura themes (try each first), the Music Box sound theme and melody packs your pegs play (listen first). ▸ MADE TO BE PLAYED BY MORE PEOPLE VoiceOver play on iPhone, VoiceOver labels and spoken purchase confirmations throughout the Workshop and the Shop, clear combat feedback, special pegs marked by more than colour, Reduce Motion support and 44 pt touch targets. Special thanks to accessibility tester Matheus Rheine, who helped shape VoiceOver play. ▸ MOBILE-NATIVE True portrait, one-handed, free to start. No energy timer and no premium wall. Monetization: optional rewarded continues, a Remove Ads purchase that stops interstitial ads, themes, looks and sound packs, and essence pouches. Essence also comes from playing.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pegfall at 100% against Edge Born's 50%. Pegfall also leads on price (Free vs $3.99) and ratings volume (19 vs 1). Edge Born's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On update cadence, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Edge Born holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pegfall has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Edge Born's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pegfall'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 every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
