Progress through the ages of time, beginning from the stone age all the way to the nuclear age in “The Wars”. The idea of the game is simple - destroy your enemy base. Think strategically and tactically decide the balance between both attack and defense to succeed. Remember that you cannot repair your base during battle. As you progress and kill all the enemies you will collect experience points, spend these to move onto the next of 5 available ages. Each age has its own unique units, defense levels and special weapons for when it gets heated! Try the medium and hard levels for more of a challenge to become a War master!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Swamp Attack at 4.7 against The Wars Lite's 3.0. Swamp Attack also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (35K vs 2). The Wars Lite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
