Subterfuge est un jeu à rôles cachés idéal pour vos soirées entre amis. Civils, Imposteurs, Fantôme : survivez, semez le doute ou faites tomber les autres au bon moment. Entre bluff, intuition et accusations foireuses, chaque partie part vite en chaos. Pour varier les ambiances, le jeu propose 3 modes : - Imposteur : le grand classique de survie et de tromperie. - C'est un dix mais... : le mode parfait pour juger vos amis (et vous faire juger en retour). - Roue à défis : laissez le hasard pimenter la partie avec des gages improbables. À vous de jouer, que le meilleur menteur gagne.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Subterfuge ! at none against Bastion's 1. Subterfuge ! also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). Bastion's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
