# Crusaders Quest vs MARVEL Strike Force

Crusaders Quest and MARVEL Strike Force both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 77% of Crusaders Quest's written reviews are positive against 43% of MARVEL Strike Force's. MARVEL Strike Force's advantage is ratings volume (309K vs 5K) and chart position (#34 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crusaders Quest sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and MARVEL Strike Force sells 13 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 — 4.7 for Crusaders Quest against 4.6 for MARVEL Strike Force. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MARVEL Strike Force has 309K ratings behind it against 5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 77% of Crusaders Quest's written reviews are positive against 43% of MARVEL Strike Force's.

Crusaders Quest ships an update every 3 weeks, MARVEL Strike Force fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
