Hardcore Hack’n Slash Action-RPG. The must try game for any real hack and slash fan who already got bored with just mindlessly smashing buttons on the screen. Shadow hunter is an action-packed dark fantasy hack and slash game with an incredible combat system and awesome boss fights, assisted by a one of a kind character control mechanism and a perfect mix of RPG elements to make your adventure super immersive. A DARKENED, RUINED AND FULL OF SUFFERING SHADOW WORLD As the mortal world got invaded and destroyed by the horde of dark demons and shadow monsters, everything was covered in the darkness of hell and the constant insufferable noises that were the combination of the endless scream from those evils and the crying and mourning of the lucky few that manage to survive through this nightmare. The player will be a Shadow Hunter in this world, which is someone who got blessed by the Ancient One with a special power to fight off those dark demons. Through countless battles and obstacles, shadow hunters are destined to bring the light back to this mortal world. EPIC BOSS FIGHT Shadow Hunter's most exciting moments must be it's epic boss battle, in which the Hunters must defeat dark giant demons to collect their souls and advance to the darkest dungeon and the highest floor of the evil tower. Without a decent set of equipment and highly trained techniques, any player could easily get wrecked by those big bosses. However, the incredible feelings that players get from successfully overcoming those challenges will make it all worth it. Furthermore, those dark demon souls are the key to upgrade hundreds of shadow equipment and weapons, turning them from just a common warrior sword to a legendary hero's blade that would be worshiped by the generations to come. MULTIPLE CHARACTERS TO PLAY AND ROLL Players will get to play as multiple different characters, each has its own unique skills, gameplay and assets. Each character is going to be a distinct way to play the game, a distinct approach to the strategy and the combat. KEY FEATURES Intense hack and slash combat. Epic Boss Fights.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DS1 Guide at none against Shadow Hunter's 10. Shadow Hunter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
