Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Castlevania at none against Repulze's 10. Castlevania also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 23) and chart position (#13 vs #122). Repulze's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 29 months) and review sentiment (73% vs 54%). On rating, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
