Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Aftermagic at Free against Temporal War's $1.99. Aftermagic also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Temporal War's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 41) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

Aftermagic is free to download; Temporal War costs $1.99 up front. Aftermagic sells 41 one-off in-app purchases. Temporal War asks for nothing beyond the download.
Aftermagic holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aftermagic has 393 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Temporal War's written reviews are positive against 42% of Aftermagic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Temporal War ships an update every 6 months, Aftermagic weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
