About

Doom Daycare

Read full description

Welcome to the Underworld's Department of Soul Crowd-Control. You took the daycare-wing job. The pay is bad. The kids are demons. The souls keep escaping. Every shift, you go in alone with a clipboard and survive as long as you can while the chaos multiplies. Pick a weapon. Pick a utility. Move with one thumb. Auto-attack with the rest. Die a lot. Earn coins. Buy upgrades. Eventually quit your job (prestige), get hired right back, and do it all again. FEATURING - 4 staff members, each with a unique passive and starting weapon - 8 weapons + 6 utilities -- pick a few per run - 10 enemies + 2 bosses (one of which is a manager's mom) - Persistent coin economy + a workshop tree of upgrades - A whole-game prestige system, because you're going to quit eventually - A narrator who has clearly given up Free to play. Optional purchases for coin packs and a permanent pay raise. Ads are mostly optional and tasteful (we hate the gross ones too). "Tragic. We'll need to file an incident report. Again." -- narrator, on your death

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hunter Hero! at none against Doom Daycare's 9. Hunter Hero! also leads on iOS requirement (14.5 vs 17.0). Doom Daycare's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
