Verdict

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Night Slashers is free to download; Grimvalor costs $5.99 up front. Night Slashers sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Grimvalor asks for nothing beyond the download.
Grimvalor holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grimvalor has 9.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Grimvalor'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.
