# Arcane Quest 2 vs Magic War

The clearest difference is rating: Magic War at 5.0 against Arcane Quest 2's 4.3. Arcane Quest 2's advantage is ratings volume (71 vs 2) and review sentiment (89% vs 75%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arcane Quest 2 sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Magic War sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Magic War holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arcane Quest 2 has 71 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Arcane Quest 2's written reviews are positive against 75% of Magic War's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
