ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Base Defense! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Base Defense! has 10K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Base Defense!'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Tribe Tower Defense's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
