Gunsuigi is a strategy board game set in a world of warring samurai lords. Place your pieces on a 9x9 board, stack them up to three tiers high, and checkmate your opponent's Marshal. The higher a piece stands, the farther it can move. Drop pieces from your hand onto almost any square, capture or win enemy pieces over to your side, and build towers that turn the tide. No two matches play out the same. PLAY YOUR WAY - Play vs CPU: four levels, from Novice to Advanced - Ten warlords to challenge, each with their own formation, a special Skill, and a story that unfolds as you win - 2 Players (one device): pass the device back and forth for a match with a friend - Online Match: play a random opponent, or share a room code with a friend.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pro Shogi at none against Gunsuigi's shown. Gunsuigi's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
