Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: SUPRCLDR at Free against Dead Cells's $8.99. SUPRCLDR also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). Dead Cells's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12K vs 1). On rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
