Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 1
Devour leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Devour
Running and item carrying require minimal dexterity
For the King
Turn-based slot rolls need no dexterity
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Devour
The possessed boss escalates on rules, never models players
For the King
Enemies follow simple deterministic combat AI
Variance7 vs 7
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Devour
Randomised item spawns and boss aggression drive each run
For the King
Dice-roll combat and random maps dominate single runs
Optimization6 vs 7
For the King leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Devour
Spawn pools, UV stuns, and routes converge with experience
For the King
Focus economy, routing and loadout play beat the odds
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
