Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Royal Castle! at 4.6 against Trainee War's 2.7. Royal Castle! also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 7). Trainee War's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 8%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Royal Castle! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Trainee War asks for nothing beyond the download.
Royal Castle! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Royal Castle! has 1.5K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Trainee War's written reviews are positive against 8% of Royal Castle!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Trainee War ships an update every 9 days, Royal Castle! every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
