DERE EVIL EXE is both a terrifying thriller with a gripping story and an unorthodox retro platformer with unique puzzles and obstacles. In DERE EVIL EXE, you step into the tiny shoes of a silent hero named 'Knightly'. Knightly must jump, run, and manipulate environments in order to survive the heart-racing journey through a stunning pixel art world. Within surreal structures lurk dangerous creatures known as 'corruptions'. They take the form of their creator's greatest fears. Their creepy creator, sporting a cunning visage of cheerfulness, hides in plain sight as she watches her prey fall deeper into her traps. Will Knightly be able to escape these pixelated nightmares? ===== “Take the challenge, and wade in, DERE EVIL EXE is unquestionably worth your time... 5/5” - Touch Arcade “An indie title that shifts from retro platformer to meta-horror, it pokes fun at and toys with its influences along the way.” - Rock Paper Shotgun “DERE EVIL EXE is yet another great game from AppSir we really enjoyed... 95/100” - Edamame Reviews ===== EERIE AND EXCEPTIONAL Finalist in the 15th annual International Mobile Gaming Awards and nominated for Best Storytelling in the 2019 Mobile Games Awards.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Luxavia at none against DERE EVIL EXE's 1. Luxavia also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). DERE EVIL EXE's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 7) and review sentiment (92% vs 83%). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Luxavia holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DERE EVIL EXE has 4.3K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of DERE EVIL EXE's written reviews are positive against 83% of Luxavia's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
