eArena AR is an innovative augmented reality (AR) platform that combines real-world movement and cutting-edge LED technology to create an immersive gaming experience. Players collect magic eggs at landmark locations, each guarded by a dragon. The eggs are used as power-up cards in the eArena, where players can perform actions such as health refills, launching mega projectiles, and more. Collect mana in-game to unlock additional abilities like prism towers, dragon attacks, and defensive walls. The game utilises Lumistics(LED torch) technology to track player movement and shooting actions in real-time. Players can engage in 1v1 or 2v2 matches where they control their avatars, represented by dragons, and battle on a virtual arena displayed on the floor. Every move, jump, and squat is tracked and transmitted to the game server, creating a fully interactive and immersive experience.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: eArena AR at 5.0 against Deep Blue's 4.4. eArena AR also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 16 months). Deep Blue's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
