Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: DAVE THE DIVER at none against FantasyTown's shown. DAVE THE DIVER also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (332 vs 14). FantasyTown's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 58%) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
