One of the 10 best JRPGs available on iOS! -TouchArcade.com Now celebrating 10 years on the App Store: 2014-2024! Vigil RPG is a single-player, 8-bit-style, premium RPG, where *every* battle — not just boss fights — is quick, yet has interesting decision-making. Be a solo hero on a quest to discover the hidden cause behind the sudden appearance of marauding bands of goblins and monsters! Vigil RPG is the ideal pocket-size turn-based RPG, by incorporating features that you may come to wish that every mobile game had: • Created by a one-person development team with a design goal of maximum FUN — not maximum monetization! Vigil RPG has no ads (even before you buy!), premium currencies, stamina timers, or even "leave a review!" nags. If a feature doesn't add fun, then it didn't make the cut. • Meaningful decision-making in every combat — even vs. non-boss enemies! Every enemy has unique attack patterns and "tells" for a clever player to overcome. Healing is hard to come by outside of town, so employing efficient battle strategy is important and rewarding. • Fast turn-based combat! Select an action and launch each combat round in a single tap — no menus to navigate through. Each round takes about one second to play out. Zip through battles quickly against easy enemies; take your time to consider your strategy vs. tougher foes. Vigil RPG respects your time! • No annoying tropes common to console-port RPGs: No imprecise on-screen virtual joystick; just tap your destination to move. No save points, or manual saving; your progress is continually auto-saved -- even mid-battle! • No Internet connection required! Aside from a one-time in-app purchase to unlock the full game (after the generous free demo), you could play from start to closing credits in Airplane Mode! • Unlike many other mobile games, doesn't unduly drain your phone's battery! Vigil RPG is 100% implemented in Apple's native Objective-C and Swift programming languages — no bulky 3rd-party frameworks used! VIGIL RPG SPECIAL 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION - Huge v3.0 free update! • Vigil RPG is now free-to-try! Play through several quests before unlocking the full game with a single in-app purchase! No ads after -- OR BEFORE -- you buy! • Challenge HONOR MODE! Inspired by a certain awesome hit 2023 AAA RPG -- okay, fine, it's Baldur's Gate 3 -- you can now opt in to this challenging new mode, featuring even more difficult bosses, and PERMADEATH! • Bo the Bartender has even more new advice, commentary, and humor for you! Tap him at the tavern for more tips! • Reworked several normal enemies to be more fun to battle! The Armored Goblin now really doesn't like it if you bypass his shield block with LIGHTNING, for one! • Local high scores for quests! Challenge your best times from prior playthroughs! • Beautiful high resolution support for all iPhone and iPad sizes, from iPhone SE to the 13" iPad Pro! (Runs on your Apple Silicon chip Mac, too -- but Vigil RPG is best enjoyed as an iPhone game!)

SelecQuest Crack open your phone, roll up your hero, and conquer the Omniverse. You’ll soon find yourself on a tireless quest for loot, renown, and social leverage. But the game does all the work for you! Your hero’s tasks proceed infinitely, with the type of task - and the fruits of your labor - determined by your only input: the current Adventuring Mode! LOOT MODE Tasks will involve fighting monsters or crawling dungeons, and will net you some baller loot. You can only carry so much loot at a time though, before your encumbrance maxes out and you have to head back to civilization to capitalize all that loot into gold. Acquire enough sweet monies, and you’ll find yourself with upgraded gear! Stick with this Adventuring Mode too long and you’ll saturate the market, decimating not only the return you get for your loot, but also your XP and Story progress. TOURNEY MODE Dueling or undertaking trials will net you trophies, which will be converted to renown once you tire of the strain and regale any tavern-goer within earshot with tales of your daring deeds. Increase your renown to improve your standing within the Omniverse’s authoritative Ranking Systems, and improve your likelihood of winning various championships. Champions are occasionally lavished with rad accolades. Stay in Trial Mode too long though, and the people will no longer believe you live up to the hype, crippling your progress in renown, XP, and Storyline, and potentially reducing your rankings. QUEST MODE Undertake endless quests to build your reputation once your little book of quests is full. The higher your reputation, the more likely you are to catch the attention if the various adventurers guilds and associations. Keep at it to earn memberships and even offices within these groups.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SelecQuest at none against Vigil RPG's 1. SelecQuest also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Vigil RPG's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 9). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vigil RPG sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. SelecQuest asks for nothing beyond the download.
Vigil RPG holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 31 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Vigil RPG's written reviews are positive against 100% of SelecQuest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
