BIVOUAC: Real-World Territory Warfare Don't just touch grass; own it! Transform your neighborhood into a tactical battlefield. Bivouac is an AR strategy game where physical movement meets deck-building depth—no couch required. YOUR PARK IS THE BATTLEFIELD Drop forts around you. Extend supply lines by moving through real space. Build outposts and artillery to dominate territory. Every meter you walk strengthens your position—or exposes your weakness. SUPPLY LINES = VICTORY Territory isn't about buildings—it's about networks. Connect structures to create supply lines that score points and sustain your forces. But beware: destroy an enemy's fort and watch their entire chain collapse in 30 seconds of cascading destruction. TACTICAL DEPTH, FAST MATCHES Multiple game modes with different constraints to test your tactical abilities and your endurance. Multiple win conditions mean you have to stay on your toes to win! FREE TO DOMINATE Standard game comes free for everyone. Subscriptions unlock additional game modes and features for you and your opponent! STRATEGY THAT MOVES YOU Whether you're a board game tactician or mobile gaming enthusiast, Bivouac delivers something different: competitive strategy that gets you off the couch and into the world. Built for parks, playgrounds, and parking lots. Designed for players who think while they move. Requires iOS 18.6 or greater. GameCenter account required for multiplayer. Best played outdoors with a good cellular connection.

Atomics is an idle clicker game about growing elements and expanding your own periodic table. Start with Hydrogen. Tap to collect Energy, upgrade research labs, automate reactors, improve element efficiency, and discover the next element. You can return to any discovered element, keep building your favorites, and raise the power of your entire research cycle. Every element has its own skill. As you develop elements, you unlock bonuses that affect your whole lab. Build several elements from the same category to activate set bonuses from nonmetals, noble gases, alkali metals, transition metals, and more. Once you reach the 10th element and beyond, rebirth becomes available. Use Atomic Cores and rebirth points to make the next run stronger. Expand the rebirth skill tree, improve idle production, tap power, active slots, and unlock deeper research paths such as compounds, isotopes, and antimatter. Whether you play in short tapping sessions or let progress build while idle, your lab keeps moving forward. Fill the periodic table and enjoy a long-form elemental growth game. - 118 elements from Hydrogen to Oganesson - Simple tap-and-idle Energy growth - Labs, reactors, and efficiency upgrades for each element - Unique element skills and category set bonuses - Long-term progression with Atomic Cores and rebirth points - Map-style rebirth skill tree - Deep research into compounds, isotopes, and antimatter - Achievements to guide your progress - Supports Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Russian - Autosave support

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Atomics at none against Bivouac's 3. Atomics also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.6). Bivouac's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
