Humanity's last colonists are under siege. Alien raiders are sweeping in from every side to snatch them from the surface below — and you're the only ship standing between them and total abduction. DEFENDER REBORN brings the golden-age arcade shoot-'em-up back to life, rebuilt from scratch for modern touch screens. Enjoyed DEFENDER REBORN? I also made METEORIC, another classic arcade tribute, and ALIENSWARMS, an original 3D space combat game unlike anything else -- both available on the App Store.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Defender Reborn at Free against Classic Arcade's $0.99. Defender Reborn also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Classic Arcade's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
