There are a lot of interesting things in the game, such as you can enhance the hero's fighting power by buying equipment, you can sneak into enemy territory to steal the enemy's hero, you can get married to create a new hero, you can also resurrect the dead hero.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SanGuos2 at none against Mandate Kingdoms's 1. SanGuos2 also leads on ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Mandate Kingdoms's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
