Swipe War is a battlefield, army vs army strategy game; Swipe War is loosely based on a paper war game played with a pencil by children from the 1970s. To start, players purchase and deploy an army with 40 points. Units have varied costs and abilities, so arrange your army on the battlefield as desired. The player’s army is positioned on the bottom half of the battlefield and they will always swipe up at the enemy army, which is deployed at the top of the battlefield. Play types include pass and play, play against your phone, and the main game: "Ranked Wars" is played over the cloud.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Swipe War at 5.0 against Battle 3D's 4.1. Swipe War also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Battle 3D's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
