    It's entirely possible and even understandable for a player new to War of Words Apocalypse to think that they're just playing a slightly darker-looking version of a game they already have, but to simply dismiss it as such would be a huge mistake.

    War of Words Apocalypse is free to play, but it is ad supported with incredibly intrusive ads. Full screen ads are shown after almost every turn, and it takes several seconds before you can tap the tiny check box to close the ad. Tapping in the wrong spot will open the ad, and it's very easy to tap on accident.
