# Colony Attack vs Battlevoid

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Colony Attack at 79% against Battlevoid's 62%. Colony Attack also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (205 vs 33). Battlevoid's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
