Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CraftedBattle at none against Block Fortress's 10. CraftedBattle also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and price ($0.99 vs $1.99). Block Fortress's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 143). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
