    7.4/10

    Best for a roster that levels up together

    Farlight Games' storybook RPG places heroes on a tile-based board instead of RAID's turn-based fights, and hero levels and equipment are shared across the whole roster.

  4. 4. Summoners War: Sky Arena

    7.2/10

    Best for the closest turn-based monster collector

    Com2uS's turn-based RPG has run since 2014 with more than 1,000 Monsters and 23 Rune Sets, so it shares RAID's focus on collecting and gearing a roster. It is free on Steam, iOS and Android with shared progress. Its website publishes no summon odds, though Summon Mileage guarantees a 5-star Monster.
