Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Night Slashers at 100% against Brave Squad's 25%. Night Slashers also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Brave Squad's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (18 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Brave Squad holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brave Squad has 18 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Brave Squad's written reviews are positive against 100% of Night Slashers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
