You've always dreamed of shouting "Fire the torpedos! More power to the shields!" I have too, and this is why I built Quintet. Quintet is a multiplayer space game where players work harmoniously to control the same ship. There are 5 roles: Captain, Helm, Tactical, Engineering and Science. How successful you are will depend on how well you all work together. Quintet is especially fun to play in the same room with friends. Don't be shy about playing out your roles in person and using strange accents. There are also one, two, three and four player ships available. Other Great Features: * Desktops, Laptops, and iPads can all play together on the same ship. * Players ships can play with or against other player ships. Note: * Gameplay requires an Internet connection. * Quintet is graphics intense! Runs best on iPhone5 or iPad 2 and up!

About

Conclave

Features
Read full description

Take the throne and begin your pontificate in Conclave, a fictional swipe-based strategy game where every decision can change the course of your reign. Each card presents a dilemma. Swipe left or right to choose your response, then live with the consequences. Keep four forces in balance — the Faithful, the Curia, the Treasury and Tradition. Let any one of them fall too low or rise too high, and your reign may come to an abrupt end. But not every consequence arrives immediately. Decisions can unlock story chains that return years later, forcing you to face the results of choices you thought were long behind you. FEATURES • Simple swipe decisions with strategic consequences • Four competing meters to balance • Hidden effects that keep every choice uncertain • Story chains shaped by earlier decisions • Multiple endings, including legacy endings for long reigns • Codex with discovered endings, lifetime statistics and unlockable characters • Daily Conclave: a shared seeded challenge with the same setup for everyone that day • Counsel to reveal a card’s exact effects • One second chance per regular reign • Share your final reign and challenge others • Sound, haptics and atmospheric presentation • English interface options How will history remember your pontificate — as a reformer, a traditionalist, a survivor, or something else entirely? Your reign begins with a single swipe.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Quintet at none against Conclave's 1. Quintet also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.1 vs 15.0). Conclave's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
