Return to the world of TRISM. In July 2008, Steve Demeter launched his indie game TRISM the first day the AppStore opened. TRISM went on to chart in the Top 10 overall for many months, winning a landslide of industry awards. Among a number of media appearances, Apple featured Steve in an Apple keynote as the first of their AppStore developer showcase documentaries. Released ten years to the day since TRISM and the AppStore first launched, TRISM 2 is a return to form in AppStore gaming.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Monsters Project at 100% against Trism II's 33%. Monsters Project also leads on price (Free vs $2.99) and rating (5.0 vs 3.6). Trism II's advantage is ratings volume (119 vs 13) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
