# ヴィーナス†ブレイド vs Dark Sword 2

The clearest difference is ads: ヴィーナス†ブレイド at none against Dark Sword 2's shown. ヴィーナス†ブレイド also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (8.2 vs 15.0). Dark Sword 2's advantage is ratings volume (212 vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ヴィーナス†ブレイド sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Dark Sword 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ヴィーナス†ブレイド holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dark Sword 2 has 212 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
