Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Demon Hunter 2 at 5.0 against Elderand's 4.2. Demon Hunter 2 also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and price ($1.99 vs $6.99). Elderand's advantage is ratings volume (36 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
