Settle it the family way. Four relatives, four fighters, one pixel-art brawl. Knock your opponent off the stage: the more damage they take, the farther they fly, and three stocks is all you get. FOUR FIGHTERS, SIXTEEN SPECIAL MOVES • Jonah: swings a medical crutch, fires a bow, rockets up on his prosthesis or springs into the air. • Kris P: tennis racket, tennis balls, angel wings, and a lawn mower you push straight through anyone in the way. • Philip: lightning bolts, a mighty hammer, and a blueprint-born Tesla coil that holds enemies in place. • Graham: a rifle, a fishing pole that reels people in, a duck that carries him skyward, and Bonnie the beagle. EASY TO LEARN, DEEP TO MASTER • One stick and three buttons: Jump, A and B. • Hold the stick up, down or sideways with A or B for a different move every time. Block, charge a punch, slap, slide kick, and chain moves together in the air. • Heavier attacks beat lighter ones; equal attacks clang off each other. PLAY YOUR WAY • NEW: Online matches. Find a random opponent through Game Center or challenge a friend directly. Your own buttons respond instantly (rollback netcode), and you can rematch without searching again. • Fight the computer on Easy, Medium or Hard. The tougher ones fight back, block and recover when you knock them off. • Two players on one phone: pass it to a family member and settle the score. • Three stages: a plain platform, a three-platform stage you can drop through, and a church parking lot where the parked cars make the ground lumpy. Free. No ads, no purchases and no account of ours. Everything except online play works offline; online play uses your Game Center account.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: In at none against Swordigo's 3. In also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months). Swordigo's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
