Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both games, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Square TD
Read full descriptionHide full description
Square TD is a tower defense with a twist: enemies run a ring road around the map, and you defend your own corner. Every wave passes your zone twice — set up, hold, and don't let them reach the castle. - 8 tower types, 3 levels each — crossbows, ballistae, mortars, fire, lightning, poison, frost and watchtowers - Armor, air, invisible and boss waves — every enemy type asks for a different answer. - Synergies that matter: poison marks enemies for extra damage, frost keeps them in the kill zone, fire heats up on a held target - 40-wave campaign on three difficulties, then endless mode for records - Build, upgrade and sell while paused — think it through The first 19 waves are free. One purchase unlocks everything.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Square TD at none against Survivor Mage's shown. Survivor Mage's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
