Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Island War at 4.9 against Epic DeFence's 3.0. Island War also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (25K vs 2). Epic DeFence's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
