Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Transistor at 4.4 against Titan Quest's 3.8. Transistor also leads on price ($4.99 vs $10.99) and ratings volume (716 vs 38). Titan Quest's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
