Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Arctic Rush at 5.0 against CraftedBattle's 4.3. Arctic Rush also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.6). CraftedBattle's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 25 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
