ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DODONPACHI MAXIMUM holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bounty Bots has 477 ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Bounty Bots's written reviews are positive against 72% of DODONPACHI MAXIMUM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bounty Bots ships an update every 3 weeks, DODONPACHI MAXIMUM every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
