Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tempest at 4.7 against Waroftanks's 3.6. Tempest also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 112). Waroftanks's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Waroftanks sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Tempest sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tempest holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tempest has 10K ratings behind it against 112, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Waroftanks's written reviews are positive against 59% of Tempest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Waroftanks ships an update every 6 weeks, Tempest every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
