Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Spaceland at Free against Dark Quest 2's $4.99. Spaceland also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (584 vs 40). Dark Quest 2's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (66% vs 35%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Spaceland is free to download; Dark Quest 2 costs $4.99 up front. Spaceland sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Dark Quest 2 asks for nothing beyond the download.
Spaceland holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spaceland has 584 ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Dark Quest 2's written reviews are positive against 35% of Spaceland's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
