Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Dead Effect 2 at none against Devil War's shown. Dead Effect 2 also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 57%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Devil War's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
