Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ™ Gomoku at 4.5 against 暗棋2's 4.0. ™ Gomoku also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3K vs 1). 暗棋2's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
