Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Inferno 2 at 4.6 against Castlevania's 3.9. Inferno 2 also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 54%) and update cadence (every 8 months vs every 29 months). Castlevania's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 145) and chart position (#11 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
