Both are free to download. Astral Hunter sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Athena Crisis sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Astral Hunter holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Astral Hunter's written reviews are positive against 73% of Athena Crisis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Astral Hunter ships an update every 10 days, Athena Crisis every 9 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
