Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Night Slashers at none against StarrySky's shown. StarrySky's advantage is ratings volume (252 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for StarrySky against 4.5 for Night Slashers. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StarrySky has 252 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 99% and 100% positive.
