Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Stickman Raid at 4.6 against Ancient War's 3.9. Stickman Raid also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 65%). Ancient War's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 30 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
