Verdict
MicroWars and Achikaps both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Achikaps's written reviews are positive against 34% of MicroWars's. Achikaps also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). MicroWars's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 184). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MicroWars sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Achikaps asks for nothing beyond the download.
MicroWars holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MicroWars has 10K ratings behind it against 184, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of MicroWars's written reviews are positive against 88% of Achikaps'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, Achikaps every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
