Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Star Combat Base at none against Mushroom War's 10. Star Combat Base also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Mushroom War's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
