Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Arcane Tower at 5.0 against Zero Orders Tactics's 4.0. Arcane Tower also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1).

Arcane Tower costs $1.99 and Zero Orders Tactics $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Arcane Tower holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arcane Tower has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Arcane Tower's written reviews are positive against 100% of Zero Orders Tactics's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Arcane Tower ships an update every 3 weeks, Zero Orders Tactics every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
