Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Skeletomb at none against Brawlhalla's 10. Skeletomb also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and review sentiment (80% vs 49%). Brawlhalla's advantage is ratings volume (27K vs 47) and chart position (#176 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
