# Alien vs Devil May Cry

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.

Both are free to download. Alien sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Devil May Cry sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Alien against 4.6 for Devil May Cry. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Devil May Cry has 12K ratings behind it against 1.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of Alien's written reviews are positive against 51% of Devil May Cry's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
