Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Night Slashers at none against 8 Bit Fighters's shown. Night Slashers also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 77%). 8 Bit Fighters's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (16 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

8 Bit Fighters holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 8 Bit Fighters has 16 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of 8 Bit Fighters's written reviews are positive against 100% of Night Slashers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
