# Tactile Wars vs LEGION

Tactile Wars and LEGION both sit at 4.1 stars, but that hides the real split: 70% of LEGION's written reviews are positive against 50% of Tactile Wars's. LEGION also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Tactile Wars's advantage is ratings volume (4.4K vs 161) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 14.2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tactile Wars sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and LEGION sells 6 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 — 4.1 for Tactile Wars against 4.0 for LEGION. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tactile Wars has 4.4K ratings behind it against 161, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of Tactile Wars's written reviews are positive against 70% of LEGION's.
