Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Blasphemous at 4.4 against DOOM's 3.8. Blasphemous also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 54%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). DOOM's advantage is price ($4.99 vs $7.99) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 243). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.

Blasphemous holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8.
