Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Road to Legend at 4.5 against Dragon Eclipse's 3.7. Road to Legend also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 50%) and ratings volume (55 vs 6). Dragon Eclipse's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
