# Major Mayhem vs Strike Back

Major Mayhem's advantage is ratings volume (6.5K vs 8). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Major Mayhem sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Strike Back sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Major Mayhem has 6.5K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 79% of Major Mayhem's written reviews are positive against 100% of Strike Back's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
