Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lucky Defense! at 57% against BOWBLITZ's 36%. Lucky Defense! also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 1.1K) and chart position (#69 vs unranked). BOWBLITZ's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lucky Defense! sells 75 one-off in-app purchases and BOWBLITZ sells 36 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BOWBLITZ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lucky Defense! has 12K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Lucky Defense!'s written reviews are positive against 36% of BOWBLITZ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lucky Defense! ships an update fortnightly, BOWBLITZ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
