Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Operation WarShell at 100% against Bulwark Blast's 50%. Bulwark Blast's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Bulwark Blast holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bulwark Blast has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Bulwark Blast's written reviews are positive against 100% of Operation WarShell's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
