Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Arcane Quest HD at 85% against Warhammer Quest's 31%. Arcane Quest HD also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.4). Warhammer Quest's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 171). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
