Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: War.app at 1.6K against World War II's 15. War.app also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (66% vs 53%). World War II's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
