Verdict

The call

Warhammer Quest and Waven both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of Waven's written reviews are positive against 31% of Warhammer Quest's. Waven also leads on ads (none vs shown). Warhammer Quest's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 356) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
