Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Braveland at $2.99 against XCOM 2 Collection's $14.99. Braveland also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (78% vs 62%). XCOM 2 Collection's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 83). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
