Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Opacha at 77% against MicroWars's 34%. Opacha also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). MicroWars's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (10K vs 124). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MicroWars sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Opacha asks for nothing beyond the download.
MicroWars holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MicroWars has 10K ratings behind it against 124, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of MicroWars's written reviews are positive against 77% of Opacha's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MicroWars ships an update every 2 months, Opacha every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
