Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Risky Wars at 4.5 against Conquest's 3.4. Risky Wars also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (65% vs 52%). Conquest's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (123 vs 32). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
