Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Exile Crusade at none against Swordigo's 3. Exile Crusade also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). Swordigo's advantage is ratings volume (7.9K vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
