Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Epic War sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Shroom Guard sells 54 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Epic War holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epic War has 427 ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Epic War's written reviews are positive against 67% of Shroom Guard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Epic War ships an update every 2 months, Shroom Guard weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
