ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DYSMANTLE holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 469 and 115 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of DYSMANTLE's written reviews are positive against 78% of SteamWorld Quest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
