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.

A new kind of Mario game that you can play with one hand. You control Mario by tapping as he constantly runs forward. You time your taps to pull off stylish jumps, midair spins, and wall jumps to gather coins and reach the goal! Super Mario Run can be downloaded for free and after you purchase the game, you will be able to play all the modes with no additional payment required. You can try out all four modes before purchase: World Tour, Toad Rally, Remix 10, and Kingdom Builder. ■World Tour Run and jump with style to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser’s clutches! Travel through plains, caverns, ghost houses, airships, castles, and more. Clear the 24 exciting courses to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser, waiting in his castle at the end. There are many ways to enjoy the courses, such as collecting the 3 different types of colored coins or by competing for the highest score against your friends. You can try courses 1-1 to 1-4 for free. After rescuing Princess Peach, a nine-course special world, World Star, will appear. ■Remix 10 Some of the shortest Super Mario Run courses you'll ever play! This mode is Super Mario Run in bite-sized bursts! You'll play through 10 short courses one after the other, with the courses changing each time you play. Daisy is lost somewhere in Remix 10, so try to clear as many courses as you can to find her! ■Toad Rally Show off Mario’s stylish moves, compete against your friends, and challenge people from all over the world. In this challenge mode, the competition differs each time you play. Compete against the stylish moves of other players for the highest score as you gather coins and get cheered on by a crowd of Toads. Fill the gauge with stylish moves to enter Coin Rush Mode to get more coins. If you win the rally, the cheering Toads will come live in your kingdom, and your kingdom will grow. ■Kingdom Builder Gather coins and Toads to build your very own kingdom. Combine different buildings and decorations to create your own unique kingdom. There are over 100 kinds of items in Kingdom Builder mode. If you get more Toads in Toad Rally, the number of buildings and decorations available will increase. With the help of the friendly Toads you can gradually build up your kingdom. ■What You Can Do After Purchasing All Worlds ・ All courses in World Tour are playable Why not try out the bigger challenges and thrills available in all courses? ・ Easier to get Rally Tickets It's easier to get Rally Tickets that are needed to play Remix 10 and Toad Rally. You can collect them in Kingdom Builder through Bonus Game Houses and ? Blocks, by collecting colored coins in World Tour, and more. ・ More playable characters If you rescue Princess Peach by completing course 6-4 and build homes for Luigi, Yoshi, and Toadette in Kingdom Builder mode, you can get them to join your adventures as playable characters. They play differently than Mario, so why not put their special characteristics to good use in World Tour and Toad Rally? ・ More courses in Toad Rally The types of courses available in Toad Rally will increase to seven different types of courses, expanding the fun! Along with the new additions, Purple and Yellow Toads may also come to cheer for you. ・ More buildings and decorations in Kingdom Builder The types of buildings available will increase, so you'll be able to make your kingdom even more lively. You can also place Rainbow Bridges to expand your kingdom. ・ Play Remix 10 without having to wait You can play Remix 10 continuously, without having to wait between each game. *Internet connectivity required to play.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Magic Rampage at 88% against Super Mario Run's 45%. Magic Rampage also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Super Mario Run's advantage is ratings volume (79K vs 2.1K) and chart position (#92 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
