Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: E.L.D. TD at 71% against Toy War 3's 36%. E.L.D. TD also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). Toy War 3's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (40 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Toy War 3 holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Toy War 3 has 40 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of E.L.D. TD's written reviews are positive against 36% of Toy War 3's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

E.L.D. TD ships an update every 8 days, Toy War 3 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
