Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: War Tortoise at 4.9 against Tentacle Wars ™'s 4.4. Tentacle Wars ™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 9.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tentacle Wars ™ sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and War Tortoise sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

War Tortoise holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7.1K and 7K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Tentacle Wars ™'s written reviews are positive against 86% of War Tortoise's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
