Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Samurai Conqueror at none against The Samurai Wars's shown. Samurai Conqueror also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). The Samurai Wars's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
