Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sonny at none against Occidental Heroes's 1. Sonny also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 358). Occidental Heroes's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 71%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
