While missions can be completed whilst detected, the true art of stealth is to achieve 100% stealth scores for your missions. They key to any stealth game is to be patient and observe the situation and then take measured and planning action accordingly. The games use the concept of "active" versus "passive" moves, with "active" moves, such as running, climbing the sides of buildings, or jumping between rooftops, more likely to alert the attention of nearby guards. When the guards become alerted, the player must either fight them or break their line of sight and locate a hiding place, such as a haystack or a well, and wait until the guards' alert is reduced. The combat system allows for a number of unique weapons, armor, and moves, including the use of a hidden blade set in a bracer on the Assassin's arm, and which also can be used to quietly assassinate targets.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Monkey Simulator at 4.5 against Ape Assassin 2's 3.6.

Ape Assassin 2's advantage is update cadence (every 14 months vs every 57 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
