Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Swordigo at 94% against Tomb Heroes's 50%. Swordigo also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.1) and ratings volume (8K vs 17). Tomb Heroes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 11.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
