Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Dragon Hunter AR at 5.0 against War Dragons's 4.4. Dragon Hunter AR also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). War Dragons's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 2) and chart position (#123 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
