Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shoot Dragon Down at 100% against DEAD 2048's 61%. Shoot Dragon Down also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). DEAD 2048's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (82 vs 14). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DEAD 2048 holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DEAD 2048 has 82 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Shoot Dragon Down's written reviews are positive against 61% of DEAD 2048's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
