Branded a traitor and hunted by the Agency he once served, Agent 47 returns to iOS in Hitman: Absolution. Stalk your targets through elaborate environments that reward both quick thinking and patient planning. Strike silently from the shadows, or let your silverballers do the talking — whatever your approach, each of Absolution’s 20 missions is a contract killer’s happy hunting ground. Expertly adapted for mobile play, Absolution’s sleek touchscreen controls offer 47’s hallmark precision, with gamepad and keyboard & mouse support included for the full AAA experience on the go. SIGNATURE STYLE Blend into the background, kill silently, and disappear without trace, or go in all guns blazing! Absolution’s missions invite you to experiment, improvise and perfect your technique. COMPLETE CONTROL Customise touch controls until they fit you like a glove, or connect a gamepad or any keyboard & mouse that is compatible with iPadOS. MORE THAN A NUMBER The story of Absolution puts Agent 47’s character under the spotlight, where both his loyalties and his conscience are put to the test. KILLER INSTINCT Use Instinct Mode to identify targets, predict enemy movement, and highlight points of interest. CLEAR YOUR PATH Use Point Shooting to stop time, mark multiple enemies, and eliminate them in a heartbeat. MASTER THE CRAFT Find new ways to take out your marks, complete Challenges, or take the ultimate test in Purist mode, with deadlier enemies and no help to guide you. CONTRACTS MODE Hitman’s unlimited sandbox mode — take on player-designed contracts from other agents around the world, or create and share your own. === We recommend playing Hitman: Absolution on iOS 18 or later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Binnacle Arcade at Free against Hitman's $14.99. Binnacle Arcade also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Hitman's advantage is chart position (#72 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
