Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cross Brawl at 100% against Dark Sword 2's 44%. Cross Brawl also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Dark Sword 2's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (212 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dark Sword 2 sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Cross Brawl sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dark Sword 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dark Sword 2 has 212 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Dark Sword 2's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cross Brawl's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
