Drag to move and auto attack, release to execute a heavy attack. Swipe to dodge. The controls are simple, but the real complexity is in how you build your champion.

Core features Include: - One-touch control scheme and challenging, skill-based combat - Endless Challenge Mode that refreshes every hour - 27 Unique arena gauntlets to master - 12 Unique heroes to unlock by completing challenges. - 5 core classes (Bow, Shield, Greatsword, Gun, and Staff) and 100s of weapons to mix and match - 15 Meta-changing relics to unlock and upgrade - Mutating enemies that change how they fight and behave. - Fully offline - Blood-pumping soundtrack And more to come! https://twitter.com/_FoolishMortal

Verdict
The clearest difference is chart position: Ultra Blade at #134 against Interloper's unranked. Ultra Blade also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Interloper's advantage is ratings volume (534 vs 78) and device support (5 vs 3). On rating, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
