Unity is the great battery killer!
The last example I remember is that I could play the first xcom remake (which had a native mac version) on battery for 3-4 hours, while I was lucky to get 2 hours for $random_unity_based_indie with less graphics.
In my defence, I never said it was efficient! Games always suck for battery because they’re constantly rendering.

They don't need to. Enable v-sync.
That’s still 60 times a second on my iPhone and 120 on my Samsung
