Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Magic War at 5.0 against Arcane Quest 2's 4.3. Arcane Quest 2's advantage is ratings volume (71 vs 2) and review sentiment (89% vs 75%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arcane Quest 2 sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Magic War sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Magic War holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arcane Quest 2 has 71 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Arcane Quest 2's written reviews are positive against 75% of Magic War's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
