Radioactive vs World Destroyer Simulator
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both games, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Radioactive
Experience a realistic nuclear war simulation where you launch and observe the unfolding consequences of strikes on a global satellite map. Witness the impact of real weapons, realistic flight times, and dynamic casualty counts over simulated days, influenced by weather-driven fallout.

Radioactive is an immersive nuclear-warfare sandbox — not another static blast-radius calculator. Every strike is a living event you launch, fly, and watch play out on a real satellite map of Earth. REAL WEAPONS, REAL DELIVERY Choose from a catalog of real-world weapons with their accurate yields — from Little Boy to the 50-megaton Tsar Bomba — and deliver them the way they were actually fielded: silo-launched ICBMs, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, ship-launched cruise missiles, or gravity bombs dropped from era-correct strategic bombers that fly the full sortie: ingress, release, loop-around, and return to base. REALISTIC FLIGHT, YOUR CLOCK Flights take realistic travel times — an intercontinental shot really takes half an hour. A universal simulation clock (Day 1, 11:36 AM…) runs the whole world, and you control it: watch in real time or fast-forward at up to 100×. Queue up an entire salvo and release it one strike at a time, or all at once. CASUALTIES THAT UNFOLD, NOT A PRELOADED NUMBER Built on a full offline population grid of the entire planet (8+ billion people), casualty tolls play out over simulated days, not as an instant statistic: the immediate blast, delayed trauma, firestorms, and radiation each take their toll on their own realistic timelines. The injured can succumb. The dead stay dead — strike the same city twice and the second blast finds only survivors. WEATHER-DRIVEN FALLOUT Groundbursts loft fallout that rides the wind — and the wind changes day to day. A plume that drifts north today can fan east tomorrow, painting realistic multi-day contamination footprints across the land. Airbursts maximize blast but leave little fallout, just like the real physics. Contaminated ground stays contaminated. INSPECT THE AFTERMATH Tap any city for a live census: pre-war population, killed, injured, the share of land rendered uninhabitable, and who's still alive. Track national tolls as percentages of each country's real population. Drill into every detonation for its full breakdown — death waves, injury types, and ongoing effects like firestorms and radiation exposure. BUILT NATIVE Pure SwiftUI and MapKit on a real 3D satellite globe. No accounts, no ads, no data collection — everything runs on your device, and your session persists exactly where you left it. All effects are approximations derived from public, declassified scaling-law physics (Glasstone & Dolan, 1977) and public population data. Radioactive is a simulation for entertainment and education — not a targeting or civil-defense tool.

Pick a world. Pick a weapon. See what's left. World Destroyer is a sandbox where a planet floats in front of you and you take it apart. Tap to fire, drag to spin it, pinch to look closer. Each strike leaves a crater, the crust cracks and glows, the population ticks down, and eventually there is nothing left but a ring of rubble and a report of what you did. THIRTY-THREE WEAPONS Seven categories on the rail down the right edge. Meteors, storms, comets, an extinction-class asteroid and a moon dragged out of orbit. Lasers and a plasma lance you drag across the surface to carve molten scars. A black hole that stretches the world and swallows it. A supernova. A cleave that splits the planet in two along the line you tap. Saucers, a dreadnought, a strike wing and a drone swarm. A kraken, a world-eating worm, a void dragon and something ancient that opens its eye. Volcanoes, quakes, tsunamis, an ice age and a plague. And three ways to fight back: a shield, a guardian satellite and a terraformer that heals the crust. TEN WORLDS An Earth-like world of eight billion. A jungle super-earth. A red desert with domed colonies. An airless cratered moon. A banded gas giant with nothing to crater and everything to stir. A lava world already on fire. A frozen ocean with cities under the ice. A water world where the cities float. A ringed violet world. A volcanic-glass planet lit by neon cities. Every one is generated on your device, down to the coastlines, the clouds and the night-side lights. WATCH IT DIE Damage is not a number hidden somewhere. Craters have depth. Lava glows in the cracks and cools over time. The clouds darken, the atmosphere turns the colour of smoke, fissures race across the crust, and a world that has taken enough keeps losing people between strikes. Slow time down to watch a nuke go off, or speed it up to watch a plague spread. MADE ON YOUR PHONE There are no downloads and no assets. Every texture, every sky, every sound is synthesised when the app opens, which is why it is small and why it works with no connection at all. NOTHING ELSE No account, no sign-in, no ads, no purchases, nothing collected. Settings has a switch to reduce flashing for anyone sensitive to bright light.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Radioactive at 5.0 against World Destroyer Simulator's 4.0. Radioactive also leads on ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Radioactive holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radioactive has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
