Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ember at 100% against Hunter Strike's 29%. Ember also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Hunter Strike's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 6) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 9 days). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
