Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Empire Takeover at none against Takeover's shown. Empire Takeover also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks). Takeover's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
