Warheads is a visual mind blower! Explosions and particle effects galore! If you're looking for a fast paced action arcade game for your iPhone or iPod Touch then this is the game for you because we've loaded Warheads with pure excitement. There are falling missiles and you have rocket launchers which fire interceptor rockets to shoot down the incoming missiles. You tap the screen to launch a rocket toward that point, and there are falling powerups which you can shoot down as well. Warheads is a full 3D game with incredible graphics and audio.
RIVERRUN
Read full descriptionHide full description
A modern take on the classic river raid. One finger is all it takes: drag to steer, keep your finger down to fire. The river narrows, enemies multiply, and the bridge is waiting. EVEN DEATH PAYS Scrap you collect never disappears — it becomes permanent upgrades in the hangar. Power, fire rate, tank, shield, agility and mortar: a six-branch upgrade tree. A NEW RIVER EVERY DAY In the Daily Flight the river changes every day, and everyone flies the same one. Beat today's record — a new river arrives tomorrow. 20 STAGES, 6 ENEMY CLASSES From patrol ships to shore batteries, barges and bunkers — every stage teaches a new threat. The bridge is every stage's final exam: shoot it open and fly through. • Plays offline • One hand, portrait screen • Haptic hit feedback, 120 Hz support • Ads are OPTIONAL rewards only — never forced

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Warheads at none against RIVERRUN's 4. Warheads also leads on ads (none vs shown). RIVERRUN's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
