Hedgewars, it's a Blast! Description: This is the funniest and most addictive game you'll ever play - hilarious fun that you can enjoy anywhere, anytime. Hedgewars is a turn based strategy game but the real buzz is from watching the devastation caused by those pesky hedgehogs with those fantastic weapons - sneaky little blighters with a bad attitude! In other words Hedgewars is a turn based strategy, artillery, action and comedy game, featuring the antics of pink hedgehogs with attitude as they battle from the depths of hell to the depths of space. As commander, it's your job to assemble your crack team of hedgehog soldiers and bring the war to your enemy. Each player controls a team of several hedgehogs. During the course of the game, players take turns with one of their hedgehogs. They then use whatever tools and weapons are available to attack and kill the opponents' hedgehogs, thereby winning the game. Hedgehogs may move around the terrain in a variety of ways, normally by walking and jumping but also by using particular tools such as the "Rope" or "Parachute", to move to otherwise inaccessible areas. Each turn is time-limited to ensure that players do not hold up the game with excessive thinking or moving. A large variety of tools and weapons are available for players during the game: Grenade, Cluster Bomb, Bazooka, UFO, Shotgun, Desert Eagle, Fire Punch, Baseball Bat, Dynamite, Mine, Rope, Pneumatic pick, Parachute. Most weapons, when used, cause explosions that deform the terrain, removing circular chunks. The landscape is an island floating on a body of water, or a restricted cave with water at the bottom. A hedgehog dies when it enters the water (either by falling off the island, or through a hole in the bottom of it), it is thrown off either side of the arena or when its health is reduced, typically from contact with explosions, to zero (the damage dealt to the attacked hedgehog or hedgehogs after a player's or CPU turn is shown only when all movement on the battlefield has ceased). * Hilarious and devastating turn based combat for up to 8 players * Local multiplayer with optional AI opponents * Battle on an infinite number of randomly generated maps with over 31 environments, or choose from 48 set image maps * Utilise 55 (and counting) devastating weapons! Defeat your foes with simple weapons like Grenades or take it to the next level and trash entire landscapes with weapons like the Melon Bomb or Piano Strike * Play the game your way, with 25 different game modifiers, tweak almost every aspect of the match * Customize your team, with over 280 costumes, 32 graves, 13 forts, 100s of flags and unique voice packs * Huge battles with up to 64 hogs

About

Corefall

Features
Read full description

Corefall is a sci-fi tower defense game about holding colony cores while alien waves push through hostile planets. Build and upgrade towers, trigger command abilities, earn Star Credits, and decide where to spend resources between waves. Each planet changes the pressure with new lanes, enemy types, hazards, and unlock goals. DEFEND THE CORE Place laser turrets, plasma cannons, shields, mines, drones, and orbital tools along winding paths. Keep the core alive as each wave grows faster and tougher. UNLOCK PLANETS AND UPGRADES Survive Mars Outpost, push into frozen moons, jungle worlds, asteroid mines, toxic swamps, crystal worlds, and the alien homeworld. Research stronger tower tiers and finish upgrade timers between missions. COMMAND ABILITIES Use orbital strikes, emergency shields, freeze blasts, repair drones, decoys, and powerful drops when a wave starts breaking through. EARN STAR CREDITS Win waves, claim mission rewards, and use rewarded ads for bonuses such as credits, continues, and upgrade timer skips. Corefall is built for quick strategy sessions with escalating goals, compact maps, and steady tower-defense progression.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Hedgewars at none against Corefall's shown. Hedgewars also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). Corefall's advantage is update cadence (daily vs monthly). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
