Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hidden Towers at none against UniWar's 10. Hidden Towers also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). UniWar's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0.0 vs 15.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
