    Pick yours right now. Every week i will do a new one and you guys will choose :)

    Aralon is old but still it had 4.5 stars and over 3000 review. $6.99

    Ravensword is new and only has 3.5? Why? And not a lot of reviews, $6.99

    what a pointless poll. zz Aralon although impressive for its time is such a souless and shallow game with no lore,plot,chars etc . If it wasn't on a mobile device(it's only selling point)...you would have to pay me to play it.

    This truly is a pointless thread.

    Why RS only has 3.5 stars? Did you even read reviews? Half of them give the game 1 star because it crashes or doesent run on the old device (3Gs or iPod 4), although the dev clearly wrote in the description that it doesent run on those devices.

    All people don't read the app description especially when the screenshots are that awesome. Many literally insta-buy the app without looking trough reviews and such.

    aralon vs ravensword 2

    Dunno if its a pointless thread....i found it fun!
    Even the two of them are great i found Ravensword better! Why? Imprved graphics via Unity Engine and more important....i do find a simple but engaging story that keeps me trapped....on Aralon, even if i really wanted to....it didnt happen. Some things got simplified a bit, like teleporting to early visited locations....that is usefull for buying stuff, improve your character stats and so on....For me, Ravensword deserves 5 stars even with litlle bugs that crescent moon is constantly improving. Game of the year along with Horn or Lili...
    Cheers and Merry Christmas

    I preferred ravensword 2 in a lot of ways. For I thing, you weren't restricted to the items of your class. You could be a jack of all trades. Suddenly decide you want to be an archer? No problem, buy a bow, train and your on your way. Also, I found combat tons better and Ragdoll physics made it seem more realistic. I also love the realism of archery in ravensword 2 while in aralon you just auto-targeted the enemy.

    The two games are meant to be different in that way. For all the comparisons to Skyrim, Ravensword is closer to Legend of Zelda (the early, more combat-oriented ones), more focused on action and story than loot and character customization. If you play the game the right way, it can even get a bit Dark-Soul like (suffice it to say that those complaining that the combat is button-mashy made their characters that way -- hint, put points into Tactics, instead of Melee). Aralon is much more of a traditional Western RPG, almost like a single-player WoW.

    Personally I prefer Ravensword, but that's a matter of individual taste.

    I'm not sure, but right now I prefer aralon. It gives me a sense of direction, you know? Tells me where to go, unlike in ravensword 2.
