Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Dead Runner at Free against War of Eclipse's $0.99. Dead Runner also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months). War of Eclipse's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On device support there is nothing between them.
