Red Sword holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 76 and 278 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of MinuteDungeon's written reviews are positive against 78% of Red Sword's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
