# Total Destruction vs Base Attack

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Total Destruction at 83% against Base Attack's 42%. Total Destruction also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). Base Attack's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 345) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Total Destruction sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Base Attack sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Base Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Base Attack has 15K ratings behind it against 345, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Total Destruction's written reviews are positive against 42% of Base Attack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Total Destruction ships an update every 10 days, Base Attack monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
