The clearest difference is price: Final Warship at Free against Gargoyle Ruins's $1.99. Final Warship also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months). Gargoyle Ruins's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
