Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Polygon Wars at none against Reflex Unit 2's 1. Polygon Wars also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and ratings volume (9 vs 3). Reflex Unit 2's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
