RAYFORCE became a 2D shooting instant classic, and now it's available for iPhone and iPad! *Two Game Modes: Remix Mode and Arcade Mode! The Remix Mode provides a new, iPhone-optimized experience with simple flick-style controls. For the hardcore, Arcade Mode is a faithful touchscreen recreation of the original arcade game. *Two Shooting Methods: Auto and Manual! Auto Mode provides automatic, button-free firing for both the standard weapon and lock on laser, allowing players to take on this challenging game with a single finger.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: VISORIZER at Free against RayForce's $6.99. VISORIZER also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1). RayForce's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 32 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
