Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Castlevania at none against Worms 2's 2. Castlevania also leads on rating (3.9 vs 3.6) and chart position (#4 vs #160). Worms 2's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 29 months) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 9.0). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
