Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sky force war at 75% against Squadron 1945's 50%. Sky force war also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 9.0). Squadron 1945's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (75 vs 15). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Squadron 1945 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Squadron 1945 has 75 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Squadron 1945's written reviews are positive against 75% of Sky force war's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
