Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Elder at none against Hockey Showdown's 6. Elder also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 months). Hockey Showdown's advantage is ratings volume (7.9K vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
