WAR, the most famous strategy board game from Grow, now is available in a cool brand new virtual version! There are two boards to play intense battles: Classic Game: Feel like a real general. Aim for your goal and carefully define your strategy. Attack at the right time, protect your borders and defend your territories. Dominate entire continents, invade and conquer opponent territories.

Be a true strategist in command of entire Roman Legions and conquer the greatest empire the world has ever seen.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: War at every 3 weeks against Saint Seiya Awakening's every 5 months. Saint Seiya Awakening's advantage is review sentiment (35% vs 16%) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 118). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. War sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Saint Seiya Awakening sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
