Control large armies and handle the unit of your choice at any time! The great quality of this game is that you can handle units from above as in all strategy games, or you can handle the unit of your choice at any point in battle, entering combat from below. You can handle soldiers, jeeps, tanks, anti-aircraft, watchtowers, planes, and helicopters. Great variety of missions: 1. Great battles in which you will have to think of the best strategy to envelop the enemy, as if you were a great general. 2. Small skirmishes in which it is convenient to handle some unit by yourself, with some practice you can handle any unit better than the machine. 3. Battles for control of factories, each side has factories that make tanks and other units, you will have to defend your factories, accumulate units and go on the offensive. 4. Nuclear battles, resist until you have a tactical nuclear bomb available, then drop it on the bulk of the enemy army, and then finish with the rest of the units. Great variety of scenarios, deserts, city, green field, snow. Complete mission editor where you can design your own battles, selecting scenario, side, units for each side, factories, and ... atomic bombs! All this makes Desert War a spectacular game that you cannot miss!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Army Battle Simulator at Free against Desert War 3D's $1.99. Army Battle Simulator also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 26). Desert War 3D's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Army Battle Simulator is free to download; Desert War 3D costs $1.99 up front. Army Battle Simulator sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Desert War 3D asks for nothing beyond the download.
Army Battle Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Army Battle Simulator has 11K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Desert War 3D's written reviews are positive against 73% of Army Battle Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Desert War 3D ships an update every 7 months, Army Battle Simulator fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
