Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Galaxy Run at none against DEAD TRIGGER 2's shown. Galaxy Run also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). DEAD TRIGGER 2's advantage is ratings volume (112K vs 64) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
