Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Crush Depth at 5.0 against Ancient War's 3.9. Crush Depth also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 65%). Ancient War's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 85 months) and ratings volume (80 vs 6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
