Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tap the Pig at 5.0 against Castle Wars's 4.2. Tap the Pig also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 62%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Castle Wars's advantage is ratings volume (170 vs 4) and iOS requirement (3.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
