Both are free to download. Metal Force sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Mini Troopers asks for nothing beyond the download.
Mini Troopers holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metal Force has 35 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Metal Force's written reviews are positive against 33% of Mini Troopers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Metal Force ships an update every 2 months, Mini Troopers every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
