Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mecha Cavalry at none against RetroScreens's 1. Mecha Cavalry also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). RetroScreens's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 27 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
