Unwind after voting in your local primary, caucus, or the general election and give your favorite (or least favorite) politician an uppercut to the face! I was pleasantly surprised to find that Knockout looks to be a polished, suitably ridiculous arcade boxing game. - Pocket Gamer Game Features Beat them all and become president!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Election Year Knockout at 4.8 against Average Flails's 3.5. Election Year Knockout also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 56%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 20 months). Average Flails's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
