Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chess Conquest at none against Fallen Sword's 5. Chess Conquest also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.3 vs 3.9). Fallen Sword's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (73 vs 3). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
