Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Dark Path Saga at none against .Connect.'s 1. The Dark Path Saga also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). .Connect.'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
