Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.
Knightmare Tower
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Chaining mid-air kills to climb while an upgrade economy does half the lifting.

Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 6
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Knightmare Tower
Mid-air slash chaining keeps the launch alive - pure reflexes
Unreal
Aim and dodging against fast Skaarj carry encounters
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Knightmare Tower
Monsters spawn without any adaptive intent
Unreal
Scripted alien AI never adapts to you
Variance3 vs 2
Knightmare Tower leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Knightmare Tower
Monster spawn patterns shuffle each ascent
Unreal
First-run level surprises map out quickly
Optimization5 vs 6
Unreal leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Knightmare Tower
Upgrade purchase order largely determines how high you climb
Unreal
Weapon choice, secrets, and route knowledge trivialise replays
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.
