Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Blood Blade at 4.4 against AncientTD2's 3.6. Blood Blade also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 50%) and ratings volume (208 vs 8). AncientTD2's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
