Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: World War 2 at none against Naval Command's 5. World War 2 also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 75%). Naval Command's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 11 months). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
