READ BEFORE BUYING: Please expand this description and read the full list of supported devices below to confirm that your device is supported. From scrappy street gang to their own energy drinks, clothing lines and international brand recognition, The Third Street Saints have come a long way. Now their sights are set on Steelport: a once-proud metropolis brought low by a trifecta of gangs known as the Syndicate. Tailored to touchscreen and optimised for iOS, Saints Row: The Third Remastered is an open world of shameless excess in the palm of your hand. YOUR CITY, YOUR RULES Tear up the streets with tanks and hover bikes, build a portfolio of cribs and “legit” businesses, and take Steelport from the Syndicate district-by-district. CRUSH THE COMPETITION Win the arms race against the gun-running Morningstar, lay the smackdown on the Luchadores, and delete the Decker cyber-criminals across 47 madcap missions. ACTION ON EVERY CORNER Earn cash and respect by base-jumping, boosting cars, and becoming a gravity-defying insurance fraudster. WEAPONS OF CRASS DESTRUCTION Defeating your enemies is good. Humiliating them is so much better! Beat rivals into submission with outrageous weapons, and reinvent the drive-by with human cannonball cars and flamethrowing Genkimobiles. IT’S IN YOUR HANDS! The full AAA experience on the go, with customisable touchscreen controls, plus support for gamepads and mouse & keyboard. OVER-THE-TOP CO-OP Steelport is even more fun with homies — play the entire game online with a friend. THE FULL PACKAGE Saints Row: The Third Remastered comes complete with all its DLC, from Professor Genki’s murderous Genkibowl VII, sci-fi stardom in Gangstas in Space, and even weirder science in The Trouble With Clones. Also in the mix are over 30 more weapons, vehicles, and costumes. === Saints Row: The Third Remastered requires iOS 18 or later.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Shakedown at $4.99 against Saints Row's $19.99. Shakedown also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Saints Row's advantage is chart position (#32 vs unranked) and ratings volume (109 vs 20). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
