Both games fundamentally utilize the same mechanics, but they have been approached in very different ways. Royal Kingdom takes a much more warfare-oriented concept, which, in my opinion, strengthens the competitive aspect. Players battle against each other on a match-3 board, earning rewards and investing in the development of their cities. I will provide a more detailed breakdown of the differences below.
In general, for both games user should formulate their strategy within the core gameplay which is something I find quite successful.
However, when comparing the two games in general, in Royal Kingdom, Magic Pots take the place of Stars once you complete the levels. They essentially serve the same function, being used to fulfill tasks.
There's a level system in Royal Kingdom that isn't present in Royal Match. As you complete tasks, you earn stars, which in turn advance your level. Based on this system, if your level is sufficient, you unlock new regions.
For both games, once you've completed the tasks, you are included in the tournament, where you continue to compete against other players.
