# Celestial Assault vs STRIKERS 1945

The clearest difference is rating: STRIKERS 1945 at 4.4 against Celestial Assault's 3.8. STRIKERS 1945 also leads on ratings volume (40 vs 4). Celestial Assault's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Celestial Assault sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and STRIKERS 1945 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

STRIKERS 1945 holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: STRIKERS 1945 has 40 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Celestial Assault's written reviews are positive against 67% of STRIKERS 1945's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Celestial Assault ships an update every 2 months, STRIKERS 1945 every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and August 15, 2026 respectively.
