Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Takeover RTS at 86% against Steampunk Tower 2's 33%. Steampunk Tower 2's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Steampunk Tower 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Takeover RTS sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Steampunk Tower 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steampunk Tower 2 has 639 ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Steampunk Tower 2's written reviews are positive against 86% of Takeover RTS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Steampunk Tower 2 ships an update weekly, Takeover RTS every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
