Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Archero 2 at none against Endless Wander's shown. Archero 2 also leads on chart position (#19 vs unranked) and ratings volume (23K vs 3.5K). Endless Wander's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (78% vs 54%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
