Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Amazing Aquarium at 4.7 against Ancient War Ⅱ's 4.2. Ancient War Ⅱ's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ancient War Ⅱ sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Amazing Aquarium sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Amazing Aquarium holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ancient War Ⅱ has 410 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Ancient War Ⅱ's written reviews are positive against 53% of Amazing Aquarium's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ancient War Ⅱ ships an update every 3 weeks, Amazing Aquarium every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
