Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hardcore Invaders at 5.0 against Star's 3.7. Hardcore Invaders also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). Star's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hardcore Invaders sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Star asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hardcore Invaders holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Hardcore Invaders's written reviews are positive against 100% of Star's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
