Castle Rivals is a fast-paced PvP destruction game where precision, strategy, and timing decide the battle.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Squad Bash at none against Castle Rivals's 10. Squad Bash also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
