Dragons and Swords
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dragons and Swords. Defend the castle, fight off fiery dragons, save the princess. Put on your best shiny battle armor and prepare to fight fiery dragons, in this retro styled arcade game. You control the shields and swords at the bottom of the screen, click a sword to fling it at the dragons to score big points. Dragons are reincarnated on each new level like a phoenix from the flames, they get tougher and bigger and more prevalent. The dragons will breath fire and shoot fireballs at your shields, once all your shields have been burnt to a crisp then its game over. No real dragons were harmed in the making of this game :-)
Run War 2D
Read full descriptionHide full description
Drag. Recruit. Overrun. One finger steers your squad down the road. Every gate you pick either grows your crowd or thins it, so the whole run is a chain of fast, readable choices: take the +12 on the left, or risk the wider lane on the right? Your squad fires the whole way. Pick the right gates and a handful of soldiers becomes a wall of them, tearing through everything the road puts in front of you. WHAT YOU DO - Steer with one thumb, anywhere on the screen - Choose gates that multiply and add, and dodge the ones that don't - Break through barricades, dodge rolling tires, and clear the pack at the end - Bank your coins, then decide what to spend them on WHAT YOU BUILD - FIRE RATE, DAMAGE and REVENUE, each on a five-step ladder that doubles when you fill it - Permanent soldiers who join every future run - Better weapons that arrive mid-run and re-arm the whole crowd at once Short runs. Long climb. Put it down after one level or lose an evening to it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dragons and Swords at none against Run War 2D's 5. Dragons and Swords also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Run War 2D's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 37 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
