Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Surviving Alopolis at 100% against Zen Warrior's 21%. Surviving Alopolis also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.4) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). Zen Warrior's advantage is ratings volume (157 vs 4) and iOS requirement (4.3 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
