Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Celestial Clash at none against Shadow War's 10. The Celestial Clash also leads on ads (none vs shown). Shadow War's advantage is ratings volume (5.1K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.1). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
