Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Bastion at none against Otherworld Legends's shown. Bastion also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Otherworld Legends's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (9.8K vs 1.5K). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Otherworld Legends sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Bastion sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
