Verdict

The call

Alien and Devil May Cry both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of Alien's written reviews are positive against 51% of Devil May Cry's. Devil May Cry's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 1.3K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.5). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
