Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Warhammer Quest at Free against MechWarrior's $7.99. Warhammer Quest also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.1) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 122). MechWarrior's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
