Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: What Duck at 3.5 against Deus Cult's 2.7. What Duck also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (47% vs 38%). Deus Cult's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
