Space Command
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn-based tactics on a grid, built for the phone. Take the colony hubs that pay for your next units, and hold the line until the enemy has nowhere left to stand. Every tile matters. A squad in the trees is harder to hit. A walker climbs a ridge a tank has to drive around. The map is the plan. CAMPAIGN - eight missions across five worlds, each with its own ground. UNITS - fourteen, from capturing marines to railgun crawlers and interceptors. COMMANDERS - twelve, each with a passive and an ability you charge mid-battle. WEATHER - solar storms, cold, low gravity, meteor showers, announced in advance. SKIRMISH - your own battle: map, factions, commanders, conditions. Fog of war, saved games, one thumb in landscape. No accounts, no ads, no timers.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Space Command at none against Loop Hero's 1. Loop Hero's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
