Magic Rampage is an action RPG platformer with a story campaign you can play entirely offline, a deep RPG build system, and fast, precise combat. Fight through castles, swamps and forgotten dungeons to uncover what happened to the King, and choose from hundreds of weapons and armor to build a character that fights the way you want. When you want a different kind of challenge, that same character is ready for real-time duels against players from around the world. A STORY-RICH SINGLE-PLAYER CAMPAIGN, FULLY PLAYABLE OFFLINE Explore sprawling levels filled with monsters, dragons, ghosts and towering bosses. Uncover hidden rooms, secret passages and bonus levels tucked away across the campaign. Meet allies along the way, piece the story together episode by episode, and discover the fate of the kingdom. BUILD YOUR HERO: 13 CLASSES, HUNDREDS OF ITEMS, SKILL TREE AND POWER-UPS Choose your class: Mage, Warrior, Druid, Warlock, Rogue, Paladin, Thief and more, 13 in total, each with its own special ability. Then build. Equip swords, daggers, axes, hammers, spears and magical staves, and pair them with armor and artifacts. Gear changes much more than damage: speed, jump and defense all shift with what you carry, so every choice is a real decision. Combat is fast and unforgiving, which is exactly why the build matters. Then shape the rest with the Skill Tree. Unlock powers and passive bonuses, lean into the style you enjoy, and tune your whole approach to combat around it. Two players with the same class can end up playing completely different games. A NEW WEEKLY DUNGEON EVERY WEEK Every week brings a brand new dungeon with its own theme, its own boss and its own rewards from the Golden Chest. Three difficulty levels, time and star challenges, and extra Rank points for every day you clear it. COMPETITIVE MODE: CLIMB THE GLOBAL LEADERBOARD Take on demanding dungeons designed for high-level play and chase the cleanest, fastest run. Everyone faces the same challenge, and the leaderboard decides who mastered it. The higher you climb, the closer you get to the Hall of Fame. DUELS: REAL-TIME 1V1 PVP Face other players live in ranked and casual duels. Your class, your gear and your reflexes decide the match. Climb the Duels of Destiny ladder through the season and see how your build holds up. SURVIVAL MODE Head into the wildest dungeons and last as long as you can. The longer you hold out, the more gold and gear you take home. It is the quickest way to stock your arsenal. THE TAVERN: MEET OTHER PLAYERS Drop into a live social hub between battles. Meet players from around the world, challenge your friends, play mini-games and find your next rival. EARN SKINS IN THE PRIZE ROOM Compete in Duels and Competitive Mode to earn Season Points when each season ends, then spend them in the Prize Room to unlock skins for every class. Skins are tied to your account, so any character can wear them. CONTROLLER SUPPORT AND CROSS-DEVICE PROGRESS Magic Rampage supports gamepads, joysticks and physical keyboards for precise control, and your progress can be carried between your devices. Magic Rampage offers optional in-app purchases. Some in-game items and currencies can be obtained through them in addition to regular gameplay.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Magic Rampage at 88% against Pokémon GO's 44%. Magic Rampage also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ads (none vs shown). Pokémon GO's advantage is ratings volume (656K vs 2.1K) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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. Magic Rampage sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Pokémon GO sells 21 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Magic Rampage holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pokémon GO has 656K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Magic Rampage's written reviews are positive against 44% of Pokémon GO's.
Magic Rampage ships an update every 5 weeks, Pokémon GO weekly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
