Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Mindustry at free against Battlevoid's paid. Mindustry also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (1K vs 86). Battlevoid's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
