# AncientTD2 vs Evil Hunter Tycoon

The clearest difference is rating: Evil Hunter Tycoon at 4.7 against AncientTD2's 3.6. Evil Hunter Tycoon also leads on ratings volume (5.9K vs 8). AncientTD2's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AncientTD2 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Evil Hunter Tycoon sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Evil Hunter Tycoon holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Evil Hunter Tycoon has 5.9K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of AncientTD2's written reviews are positive against 53% of Evil Hunter Tycoon's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
