AQW vs AQW Infinity
Infinity is the official cross-platform remake of AdventureQuest Worlds. This page compares confirmed facts only; anything still moving in Alpha is flagged instead of guessed.
The two games in one line
Classic AQW is the free browser MMORPG that has run since 2008 with weekly updates. AQW Infinity is the cross-platform remake built for PC, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android that continues the same world, art direction and weekly-update philosophy in a new engine.

Still Alpha — treat as moving
Combat feel, skill sets, UI, progression and class balance are all still changing in the current build. Do not treat any gameplay comparison you see (including on this site) as final. The official development briefings are the only early source we trust, and even they say "expect things to break".
