Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mini Metro at none against Fantashooting's 5. Mini Metro also leads on ratings volume (32K vs 98) and chart position (#19 vs #171). Fantashooting's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 13.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
